*chkl* You and Anna. The problem isn't quality, it's quantity. Even practicing the exercise of writing every night, I have great difficulty making the images I have in my head work when written down. It isn't that I don't like what I write (which, often as not, I don't*), it's making the connection between picture and words and bringing those words out through my hands to the paper.
I also tend to write in spurts. "Arms of Another" was written in ten minutes. I didn't write another song after that for five years.
* but I don't let that stop me. Believe it or not, yours is one of the faces I bring up in my head when I'm writing for my mental audience. WWLL..."what would Lezlie like?" If my mental audience smiles, I write it down.
