In this episode, I dive into the age-old question: Do you need talent to be a writer? I'll share my take on why I believe practice beats pure talent every time. We'll talk about overcoming those pesky self-doubts and building your writing muscle. I'll also give you some practical tips like joining a writing group or seeking feedback from editors. And to put your new skills to the test, I'm challenging you to write a 100-word story or poem. Let's get writing!

Takeaways

Talent is not the most important factor in becoming a writer; consistent practice and improvement over time are key.

Reading widely, both within and outside of your preferred genre, helps to develop your taste and improve your writing.

Joining a writing group or workshop can provide valuable feedback and support.

Seeking feedback from editors and participating in writing courses and workshops can help you improve your writing skills.

Overcoming self-doubt and believing in your ability to improve through practice is crucial for developing as a writer.
