Abstract

Brief excerpt from interview: I believe that we are made and not necessarily born . . . [Writing] is a labor. I can remember times where I've, as a student in high school and college, submitted work that I was unsatisfied with . . . I'm guilty of all of the things that I try to help my students with . . . There's an attitude, a persistence, that says, 'Wait a minute, I've got to make sure that this gets out the way I need it to get out' . . . and you learn that kind of determination. That excites me more than anything else in the students, when they come to me and say, 'Mike, even as I submit this, I can tell you where I need to improve it.'
