Well, I think you expressed it just fine. :) And I think your journal does demystify professional writing. At least, it has for me. It's been a real relief to see that people who have been published and received critical acclaim still have the same concerns and difficulties as I do. I can only speak for myself, but I suspect many others feel the same way--sometimes I get thinking that if I really had what it takes, I wouldn't be worried about whether a story idea was working or if a character was interesting enough or whathaveyou, I'd just know. And I wouldn't ever get stalled or stumped. It's reading things like your LJ that help me remember that those things just make me human, and all writers are human.
