My optical disc drive is able to read, but not write, CD-R discs.

If you've used these Verbatim CD-R fine in the past and if you've been able to burn CD's fine for a measurable length of time, the answer, most likely, is the drive's reached the end of its life.

 

Have you always used these SAME Verbatim CD-R?  There are 2 different kinds: the high quality and the CMC trash.  The CMC trash is sold under the Life Series and is found in brick and mortar stores.  The high quality stuff is Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation and generally only sold in online stores under the brand DataLife Plus.
