I'm constantly amazed at how hard writing is.  It's so easy to make a mistake... .  A Robert Frost poem goes, "We dance round a ring and suppose, / But the Secret sits in the middle and knows."  This is how I feel about writing.  When I try to get at the heart of a topic, the middle, I just get more confused.

Writing should be looked at more as a form of expression.  I don't think it should be about finding the ultimate truth about a thing so much as it is about honestly expressing yourself.  Hear it from the master: (substitute writing for martial arts)

What happens when you go to write about a topic?  Is it about making an argument to end all arguments, or expressing how you feel about it?
