Why I Write, Part x+170: Struggling Writers

I have made my peace with subjects and predicates,
With message and purpose and audience,
With phrases and clauses and serial commas.
What I'm fighting is the pejorative use of the term "struggling writer."
All writing is grappling with a language; no writer will ever pin it down.
The only truly failing writer is the one who stops struggling.
