I think I'm hardwired at a biological level to write. Whether it be that hackneyed narrative assignment I wrote for my second grade class, or the three-hundred-something-paged novel that my fourth-grade teacher took home to read to her children, I’ve always had a pencil more or less surgically attached to my hand.…
