Racer, you are a WONDERFUL writer and I should know. I'm an expert!:) I write, edit and teach writing and you would be horrified at how bad most people are at this skill. It's really interesting that so many babblers write well. I think there's a definite connection between the issues we are dealing with and our need to communicate them outward.
I never knew I wrote well until a college professor told me. Never entered my mind, although I've always enjoyed writing. I had zero self confidence. Now it's too hard if I'm writing for myself. It's too personal and there's something about putting it down on paper that makes it real. I don't keep a journal anymore, but I am working on a couple of pieces where I take the feelings and emotions that I need to express and put them outside of myself.
OK, now I'm nervous. You will scrutinize everything with a fine red pen...
best,
antigua
