Exodus 24

In Exodus 24:4 it says that Moses wrote down all the words of the LORD. I wonder if that is what started his writing of the Law? Could it be that just as Moses realized God was indeed in charge of man's mouth he also ruled over the written language. We don't have a record of Moses arguing with a burning bush over his writing career, but I wonder how long the two wrestled with the idea. God didn't have to go to the extreme of imprisoning Moses, which he apparently used to motivate the apostle Paul to put pen to parchment. But was there another wrestling match in which God allowed Moses to corner himself about his writing ministry? We'll never know.
