Wordsmith 

A wordsmith is an artist who takes words, molds them into sentences, shapes them into paragraphs, and eventually creates a vivid tapestry of words that become a riveting essay, a heart-rendering poem, a soulful song, an elegant letter, and so forth.  A wordsmith must take her rough draft, and pour over each individual word, every sentence, discerning whether to add, omit, or make an exchange to create her beautiful tapestry of words.

A wood-carver takes a block of wood, and meticulously chisels away creating a rough surface, only much later does he reveal a smooth work of art that becomes his final creation.  A stone-cutter gradually carves away creating a jagged surface.  Continually he carves until he has created a polished stone that represents his idea of a work of art.  So must the wordsmith begin with her rough draft – pencil or ink and a blank sheet of paper.
