Anyone can learn to write, but learning to write well is another matter.
Because writing is very much an art and not a science, people have a tendency to approach learning it with very strange ideas.
Strange Idea #1:
“Writers are born, not made, and words easily flow from the tip of their pens/output of their keyboard. All they write shall be as gold instantaneously and will sell like hotcakes in Siberia.”
Bull. Writers are not gods. Even if someone is born with a brain attuned to written communication and perhaps storytelling, writing is still hard.
