This article seeks to encourage professors to write as the key to their intellectual and professional lives as university professors. I aspire to persuade them that if they insist on learning how to write and to communicate with others through the written word, their life will expand in unsuspected ways, getting to be a truly joyful intellectual life. I aspire to persuade them not only that «Living is writing», as noted by Schlegel, but that, for them, writing may become on of the best things in their professional and personal life.
