Writers as Warriors

Trimble makes the case that all writers are like warriors, defending their claims. This is a valid point because if the writer himself doesn't defend his own point then who else will? Only the writer knows the ins and outs of his own argument. No one else can defend their position like they can. So it's their job as a warrior to fortify it and prove their point beyond a doubt. The writers know how to win their battles as warriors in this war of words.
