Good writers are often excellent at a hundred other things, but writing promises a greater latitude for the ego.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When you combine something to say with the skill to say it properly, then you've got a good writer.
There are probably many, many people who are better writers than me.
A great writer creates a world of his own and his readers are proud to live in it. A lesser writer may entice them in for a moment, but soon he will watch them filing out.
Working with great writers can be humbling and frightening, but it can also change you for good, forever.
Writers write to influence their readers, their preachers, their auditors, but always, at bottom, to be more themselves.
Admiration from my readers inspire me, and the only 'formula' I believe in towards making a good writer is: 'to thine own self be true!'
One of the ironies of being a professional writer is that, if you are even moderately successful, the very traits that let you succeed as a writer are not much help when the time comes to head out as 'The Author.'
There is good and mediocre writing within every genre.
Many writers are afraid of writing something bad, so they don't try or give up when their efforts don't lead to a masterpiece right away. If you work at it, you will improve.
My point of view as a writer has to be a lot more ego-less than just like being some performer on stage with a hairdo.
