Error: write after end

When sending a POST request with a username, I am receiving the message:

events.js:160 throw er; // Unhandled 'error' event ^

Error: write after end at ServerResponse.OutgoingMessage.write (http_outgoing.js:426:15) at IncomingMessage.<anonymous< (/home/treehouse/workspace/router.js:26:20) at emitOne (events.js:96:13) at IncomingMessage.emit (events.js:188.7) at IncomingMessage.Readable.read (_stream_readable.js:387:10) at flow (_stream_readable.js:772:26) at resume (_stream_readable.js:772:26) at _combinedTickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:74:11) at process._tickCallback (internal/process/next_tick.js:98:9)

Not sure what's triggering this error, but for the incoming message at router.js:26:20 my code looks as such: response.write(query.username);

This may be the line where the error occurs, but the problem leading up to it is somewhere else.
