You can get help from teachers, but you are going to have to learn a lot by yourself, sitting alone in a room.
— Dr. Seuss · On becoming a writer, NY Times (May 21, 1986)

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
Teachers can point the way, says Seuss, but much of the real learning happens alone. Expect long stretches of quiet effort in a room with nobody else. Writing, in his telling, gets built out of that solitary practice.
