Are Talented Authors Endowed with an Innate Writing Ability?

By Mathew Kulas


Any time you actually assemble professional authors together they will converse about the art of writing. There are various types of authors. Those who like to write in long-hand or can only write when using an old school manual typewriter. Those who write to music, need complete silence, or write most proficiently surrounded by sounds. You will find the writers that have to arrange as well as sketch out the storyline before they will begin and writers who believe even talking about the work prior to it being written will constrain his or her originality. However one of the more controversial divisions among authors is focused on whether or not writing is a a proficiency, craft or gift.

The truth is that I love to explore this controversy as I can state these different points and, depending on the way my writing is flowing at present, I could feel that one view bears more weight in my current circumstances.

I know as a teacher of composition that writing may be a proficiency. I've taken individuals, both new and experienced, who struggled with writing and assumed they'd not be competent to write -- and supplied them with essential tips and methods to be proficient writers. I've worked with proficient writers and offered these individuals the encouragement and direction they've needed to turn into seasoned authors. I've experienced such transformation more than enough to know that writing is a proficiency which might be taught.

I understand as an author, publisher, and a person who reads that storytelling is a form of art. An expert novelist can easily gain our fascination and communicate information and facts, but a highly effective author may also create a story which reaches our emotions and our brains. Those writers who have moved from being simply skilled to become artists may create content which does more than simply deliver - it may also change lives.

Some people argue that accomplished writers are born with this skill, however I am not positive. Maybe you could have a degree of predisposition, yet I believe that authors are created. I feel a number of writers are supremely blessed but nevertheless these special few had to foster their talent by means of years of reading, writing, and thinking.

Thus, I feel writing to be three things at once -- a proficiency, an art and also a talent.
