Am I a writer?

People have lots of crazy ideas about the writing art and who is qualified to be called a writer.

While some people totally frown at associating the name 'writer' to anyone who practices the art, some hold a different notion altogether.

One age-long myth about the art is called the Destiny Myth.

This myth has people believe that a subset of individuals, unique in a way are natural-born writers; they have a supernatural command of words, vocabulary, grammar and sentence construction which they employ in the art. Hence they own it.

While others who practice the art are pretending and wasting their time.

That myth is limiting.

Obviously, writing comes naturally to some people than others - a situation we often refer to as talent. Like when you hear people make such comments as "She's a talented writer." "He was born to write."

But the truth you need to know is that everyone who writes well whether by so-called talent or practice, learned to do so.

And so, every good/creative writer-even those you declare were born for the purpose of writing-grew to that level through regular practice, intentional effort and total commitment to the art.

Great writing ability is attained by giving yourself to it and enjoying the ride.

Perhaps, you have an interest in writing but have consciously or unconsciously fed from the Destiny Myth or some other limiting beliefs held by society.

You are doing yourself great harm by letting those beliefs hold you bound.

Believing in myths is one way of preventing yourself from taking the actions necessary for your next success.

Writing can be learned, just like other arts.

Writing is a destiny you choose yourself.
