“Writing in the Cold,” by Ted Solotaroff from The Pushcart Prize is absolutely the very best and most inspiring essay for late bloomer writers. It’s also the most insightful on the emotional and psychological struggles that are part of becoming a writer.
I met Ted at the Squaw Valley Writers Conference in 1993, and he read my early work, and was most encouraging—which is another reason I love this essay!
