A curious roadblock to learning

Greetings~
I was wondering, most books on the subject of old norse teach it in a way that assumes people only want to learn to read it, but not learn to write it. However, what really kills it for me is the almost complete impossibility to be sure I got the declination of a noun, or the conjugation of a verb right.

Anyway, I guess I am rambling a bit, but I wanted to ask, is there any way to be absolutely sure? And also, is any of you learning old norse with an interest in writing in the language, or do you all just want to read? Of course, I know nobody actively writes in it, but still, t least in my opinion that doesn't mean no one can, or shouldn't.
