I have tried to explore the little talent I have for writing.

Good writing of course requires talent, and no one can teach you to have talent.

Writing is really hard, and it's really a skill.

I have no special talent, you know. I never took a writing course before I began to write.

Talent is required, but much of writing is a matter of craft, which develops with time, attention, patience and practice, like playing an instrument or learning to dance.

I think writing well takes a little bit of talent and an awful lot of work.

I can always write. Sometimes, to be sure, what I write is crap, but it's words on the page and therefore it is something to work with.

I envy people who write easily. I enjoy the process, but it's not easeful for me.

I think writing is such a great talent, and if I was better, I would love to be a writer.
