Off Topic:Let me preface this mini-sentence structuring class by saying this, I corresponded with my High School English teacher for over 10 years.Pamela is a brave soul indeed!

Irregular Verbs

Some verbs are Irregular . Here is the present tense of the irregular verb "be" :
Singular
First Person
I l I am

Adverbs
Adverbs can also modify adjectives or other adverbs.
Very(modifies) (active voice verb),modifies
the state of being in the singular present tense.

A better word to use after ,would have been "at" instead of "on" ,since the sentence is in the present tense written in first person.

The usage of the word "are" is correct because the noun "writers" is plural,therefore the plural form of the word "is" (which happens to be "are") is the correct usage.

On topic: I really do enjoy your poetry it is very moving.
