Writing is just very difficult. I'm an adequate performer. And I think I have a special talent as an editor. Editing is what I do best.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Truth is, every writer has to be a good editor, and you have to edit yourself. It's a skill every writer has to acquire.
I think writing well takes a little bit of talent and an awful lot of work.
I've written under the radar for quite some time, and I always looked at editing as writing.
I'm not a writer, but I'm very good at editing. That's my specialty. I can read something and tell you everything that's wrong with it and what's great about it and what needs to change, but it's hard for me to organize my thoughts.
I'm not a writer. I think I can write short stories and poetry, but film writing, brilliant film writing, is a talent - you can't just do it like that.
There are many more want-to-be writers out there than good editors.
I am a writer because writing is the thing I do best.
If you want to be a writer, just write. There's no magic to it.
I think writing is such a great talent, and if I was better, I would love to be a writer.
Being an editor doesn't make you a better writer - or vice versa. The worst thing any editor can do is be in competition with his writer.
