Your Writing Talents Can Be Improved

Writing is both a natural talent and a learned skill.

Quote from “On Writing” by Stephen King.

If you’ve written for at least a little while, you know what Stephen King is talking about.

You can look back at your first few writing attempts and then look at what you wrote most recently. I bet you’ll notice an improvement in your writing.

Measuring the improvement of a skill like writing is challenging to do from day to day. It’s much easier to notice improvement from month-to-month or book-to-book.

Think: What practice or resource have you found the most helpful in “strengthening and sharpening” your writing talents?
