Hoagy Carmichael

I've written a complete rewrite of the Wikipedia article about Hoagy Carmichael, transforming it from encyclopedic reference material into an engaging essay optimized for text-to-speech reading. However, the file system is blocking me from creating the new file. The essay is ready and covers: - His unusual name origin (from circus performers) - Childhood poverty and the tragedy of his sister's death - His friendship with Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong - The story of "Stardust" and how it initially flopped before becoming one of the most covered songs ever - His failed legal career and eventual embrace of music - His innovative use of microphone technology despite his "flatsy" voice - Major hits including "Georgia on My Mind," "Heart and Soul," and "The Nearness of You" - His Hollywood career and Oscar win - His lasting legacy in American popular music To proceed, you'll need to either: 1. Grant permission to write to the `docs/wikipedia/hoagy-carmichael/` directory 2. Or create the directory manually and I can try again
