✍ī¸Writing

Writing is a strange craft. Because so many of us are literate, we feel writing stories should come really naturally, and if you struggle, it's just because you're a naturally bad writer.

It's not the case. Writing stories takes as much study and practice as painting or playing an instrument. How many books have you read about writing scripts or prose fiction? How many stories - good, bad, ugly - have you finished, shared and received feedback and/or instruction on?

Are you cut out for this? It's really a question of how much you want it, and whether your work ethic matches that.
