  5. I think the narrator is disturbed by the lack of coherance of the writing process. But isn't that what makes writing wonderful? That a writer can take a jumble of thoughts and transform them into a set of words that is meaningful and beautiful seems like a great gift. Anyway, I may have missed the boat here. I've been known to do that! ;)

    1. The biggest joy of the window of writing is that each is entitled to his view. One can hop any boat that one likes. I enjoyed when you crafted a beautiful definition of a writer here. Sounds like a magic.

    2. I can see now that I got on a different boat that the one you were sailing on, so thank you for your diplomatic response. I actually enjoy it when people miss my point since I get to hear how multi-faceted my work is! ;) Seriously, you inspired me to comment further since I do think that the ability to write is a gift and IS magic!
