vwswrite asked this a while ago. Sometimes I start an answer to it, but then I discard it. If you want to teach writing, get an MFA at a school that will give you teaching experience. If you want to become a good writer, then it might help. For a few years you’ll take yourself seriously as a writer and so will other people. If you’re lucky there will be a guru on faculty and they will be inscrutable, but like a Zen Master he or she is trying to shake you free from logic and from ego, to teach the unteachable.
