Writing is a transaction between writers and readers.
As writers of text--as humans--we desperately want to be heard, to receive a response or to connect.
We want to elicit certain reactions from our readers when they read our work. An essential power of humanness is communicating with others, thinking about how we say what we say, and supposing how readers will react in their transaction with the text.
Every adolescent longs to be understood, groping about for power....
Communication is king.

"But I'm a BAD writer!"
When it comes to good writing, don’t take the easy route! Instead, use this little trick to improve your writing: let go of the words “good” and “bad,” and push yourself to illustrate, elucidate and illuminate your world with language. -Marlee Neel |
