Quote by Robert Morgan

Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing in important ways, taking away some of the excitement of poetry.

Teaching writing over the years intrudes on your own writing

Summary

This quote suggests that teaching writing for an extended period can have a negative impact on one's personal writing, particularly in relation to poetry. The act of instructing others in the art of writing can potentially compromise the author's passion and enthusiasm for their own creative process. The demands of teaching, such as providing guidance and assessing students' work, may hinder the writer's ability to fully embrace the spontaneity and thrill that comes with crafting poetry, implying that teaching and personal writing can sometimes clash or dampen the writer's creative spark.
