Isn't there an easier way?

 Jan. 26, 2021

We are so spoiled as Americans. Even two-day delivery is not quick enough, so Amazon offers two HOUR delivery when possible. I get annoyed that my cheapo version of Hulu includes commercials. The vaccine rollout is WAY too slow. 

There is clearly a danger in too much “convenience.” It can twist our expectations and our sense of progress and quality and improvement.

Education is something that doesn’t fit the “get it quick” model, I must note. We will spend an entire semester analyzing writing and arguments, practicing, editing, experimenting… but deep down we know that just scratches the surface.

Heck, I’ve been involved with writing and teaching writing for over 60 years and I learn new strategies and techniques every week. There are no shortcuts. There is simply “more writing.”
