Week 3 - Why We Write

 Chapter 2 & 3, of Why We Write, were a little interesting to me. Catherine Clinton started writing for a paycheck. When reading her school books she thought she could write them better, make them lively and smart. Catherine wanted to inspire student to dream, not bore them to sleep, as the current books did.  When Catherine became the mother of two children she decided, while reading to her children, that she could write better books. I have never read a book that I thought I could write better. I have not found anything that has inspired me to even try. The only writing I do is what is required for school and work.
