Absolutely. We write with some image and meaning to convey some meaning but its' often beyond our imagination as to what our readers might make of it.
This also reminds me. We often think what we write is crappy or not good enough but it might not be so for others.
You are making progress and progress is all that matters. Thanks for sharing such a honest piece and with insightful lessons.
Sure to benefit writers especially beginners!
Keep writing Ian!
