Thank you Songbird. Your words do help.
As writers, do we have a choice? It seems as if we are compelled to write just as painters are compelled to paint and crafters are compelled to craft. Maybe we are all created to "create." God created us in His image and He is the great creator. ??

I've always heard that one should write to express, rather than to impress. When I submitted my thesis and began the editing required by the thesis committee, for the first time I had to write to impress.
Now with submiting my work, I would have to write to impress and I fear it. I'm not sure anything I have to say is that impressive anyway, especially after I have edited it in an attempt to get it good enough to submit to someone I have to impress. ??
