Sentiment: POSITIVE
Doing interesting things and then writing about them is the best way to become a good writer.
You become a great writer by writing.
There is good and mediocre writing within every genre.
Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything.
Great writing is great writing. It's as simple as all that.
I think anything that anyone writes that's any good is going to have a lot of autobiography.

I like to do the research of history and the creativity of writing fiction. I am creating this thing which I think is twice as difficult as writing either history or fiction.
