What is the aim or goal of your writing:
2nd ed. says, "Senior Herald of the Unicorn Hunters at LSSC: an association of writers and artists who believe that the life of the spirit, as expressed in imaginative literature and art, is the most humanizing pursuit any of us can engage in. One of his favorite readings is chapter 13 in Steinbeck's East of Eden, in which the great novelist proclaims this faith in "the free, enquiring mind" and the many "glories" of insight and understanding by which a man's true value may be reckoned."
