"What is art?"  Every person sees it differently, when I write my first draft 
yes it looks like shit.  I will get up think about it come back and say, 
"Well what on God's good creation were you thinking right then."  And fix it. 
 No one is perfect.  That's what spell check is for.   Think for one secont 
the art is only as good as it s creator than you are so wrong.  I know so 
many people who create wonderful art, and could care less.  But it is 
buaetiful non the less.  I write for me, and me alone.  No one else.  So, why 
should i care if others enjoy it or get it or can read if i know what i mean. 
 Oh and one more thing, No one gets it wright the first time.
