A Writer's Eye

In a world where so many things are possible whether it be with technology or something completely different one would think that inspiration would loom around every corner. one just needs to have the "writer's eye" -- or a more common name "an artist's eye" -- i'm beginning to think that maybe, just maybe, i might not have that eye.. yes i'll see something and a bit of inspiration will come to me along with bits and fragments of stories but i can never seem to turn it into something worth reading, or i can't convey my thoughts into words as well as i'd like.
i have a writing critic (Paige) and we normally write together and analyze eachothers work, she's pointed out to me that as a reader it is hard for her to picture my writings as a story in her head. i wonder why this is... (though i do agree) but most of all i wonder how i can fix it. i've longed to find a knack for something and writing is the closest i got. so i've stuck with it... my writings have improved, no doubt about it, but there's something missing.. and i pray i find what that is sooner rather than later. for now i'll keep searching... searching the nooks and crannies, peaking behind the corners and beneith old rugs... i'll find this inspiration one way or another... or at least that's the hope.
