I enjoy bringing fantasy to life through the written word. Images, for me, at least, miss out the vital element of imagination for me. An image is what it is, using imagination the create pictures for those reading can be very satisfying, as can reading others' efforts to bring thoughts to life with words. Not everyone would agree with my view, but life would be very dull if we all trod the same path, wouldn't it?

Worrying too much about particular phrases, words etc.? Who has time for that? If you're putting thoughts down and enjoying doing so and someone might connect with it, that's the enjoyment part. Of course.the 'better'something is, the more chance there is that people connect with it, but as 'better' is subjective and might be different for those who read or write stuff, it's a question of taste.

If people use terms I don't connect with, that's just the way it is. I'd rather express myself my way and get enjoyment from it than over-analyse and compromise that. I'd rather know something is 'me' than using a tick box to check it has nothing that people say winds them up in it, but that's more about why you do something, not how.
