Inspiring quotation about the value of writing by Harvey Newcomb

Christian brother Mark Kakkuri at 360 Writing has been putting out some really helpful posts. If you need inspiration to write or want a wise and wonderful way of framing the value of writing for a young person, read this extended quotation by Harvey Newcomb that Mark posted. I plan to borrow heavily from Newcomb as teach my children how to approach the writing assignments they are starting to get in elementary school.
