Subject: RE: BS: What Constitutes Good Writing?
Mastery of an art, it seems to me, also requires discipline. Discipline of self, of technique, and of what is desired to accomplish in each work. Undisciplined, self-conscious, ennui-ridden art of any sort might have a vogue to a brief time, but without discipline it won't last.

This is true for both great art and good art.

At least, in my opinion.
