Talent?

Every now and then, someone will say, Oh, it must be great to have a writing talent.  

I think so, too.  It must be great:  To write like a dream, and to write with ease.

That, however, is not my life.  Today, for example, I cranked open an old book in progress.  There are lines in it that I'd love to blame on someone else.

Unfortunately, I wrote them.
