<div>Is there a blanket hetter of tzorech hamoed for kesiva the way there is for other melachos? It seems that koseiv is much more chamur. I remember from when I looked up some of this stuff in MB a while back that the poskim are mattir writing down chiddushim b/c of davar ha'aveid, but I don't remember tzorech hamoed (or your automatic hetter of Torah) mentioned there.
