What do writers want to know?

I have noticed, since returning recently to the study of writing, that these days it appears the emphasis is on having someone deliver a class who is a professional writer, or works in the writng industry, rather than having a really good and engaging teacher.
This means the person delivering a class may well be great at their particular professional writing job out in the real world, but not so hot at the art of teaching in the classroom. For example, I would always start by asking writers, "what do you want to know?"
I could never say I have all the answers, but I would be most enthusiastic about the questions; maybe we have the same questions. Maybe the answers to some questions are not too difficult to locate.
So what do you want to know? What are your questions? Post them up, and let's see what we can do to answer them.
Just put them in the comments area down below. Quite often it is easiest to simply put the questions out there and get some feedback on the question - so if you have a question - and would like some feedback - fire away.
