Warren --

Thanks again for your comment. I think we agree on much more than you seem to think. Among other things, you're chatting with a pretty big Herodotus fan.

You write: "the only way to get good at writing is to do it." That is the point of my essay, and the reason I titled it "just write." It's the only way to improve, and we all have much of that to do.

Cheers, and many thanks for offering your thoughts.

Will
