ACT Writing?

I have taken the ACT twice. The first time I got a 33 composite with an 8 in writing. I was semi-happy with a 33 but I think an 8 is pretty horrible for writing, which is strange because I'm actually a very good essay writer usually. Anyway, I retook it and got a 34 comp which was my goal, but still an 8 writing. ND, the top of my college list, is the only one of my prospective schools that do not require the writing. My question is, will ND look really negatively at my writing score? Should I take it again without writing so I can send in just my strong composite, or will an 8 not be too damaging? I would take it again with writing but I don't think I can improve from an 8 as I really thought my last essay was well done.
