Can anyone tell me how to write a covered call?

I hold 1000 shares of EDU.

Now, it seems like the premium of call option is very attractive.

My question is:

If I write a call option at 60 with expiration date in October, should I hold the cash positions till the expiration date?

If people want to exercise the option prior to the expiration date, can they do that?

many many thanks for your input.
