Write a book

Earlier this month, Nathan Bransford asked:

"Can anyone with enough practice be a good writer? What about a great writer? Is there a part of writing that is innate or can it be learned by anyone?"

As a teacher, I have to believe that with enough work, any reasonably intelligent person can become a good writer.  It's what I tell me students, and it's what I believe.  Give me a hard working, dedicated student and enough time and I can help that kid become a good writer.

Writing is hard...
