Cordelia Strube calls writing "complete madness" and hopes her daughter never considers a career in it. Kathryn Kuitenbrouwer continually encounters surprises in her work and takes great joy in these unexpected revelations. Morley Torgov subscribes to Dorothy Parker's viewpoint—"I hate writing, but I love having written." These and other writers consider the pros and cons of writing, the spectre of writer's block, and the value of the inevitable rejections.
