Goodreads asked Philip Dampier:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Philip Dampier Read the book by Bell. "Just Write." You don't know if you can or can't until you try. I now believe it is a learnable skill like most other things. Natural ability can be enhanced. Of course it doesn't hurt to have natural ability in any activity.
