Yeah I'm pretty good at it and once I wanted to be a writer. I've always done good in English class and writing was my strong point. I really want to write a novel but people don't really buy those kind of books anymore. Plus it's kinda hard to publish.

You will know that you are writing good if you are able to express your point regarding your topic.

It is difficult to say whether I'm a good or bad writer. But I have tried to write something in the past - and I have received some good positive reviews. However, my friend, who is an expert in writing, had opined that I must not repeat this practice. To him, it is a complete wastage of time for me as I lack the vision to create something of my own. So, I have never tried to write anything thereafter.

I like writing and have done so for the last 10 years or so. I started writing classes with Cardiff Uni and I was quite surprised how I enjoyed it. The skills I learned there helps me write more interesting articles etc. for the Internet. I know some people just have a barrier about it, and I used to, but working with a group of other people all sharing their stories was really great.. :-) Derek

Writign is an art which is in born. A person must have a vivid imagination and an ability to play with words. This ability has to be developed over time. Some people are naturally talented and spontaneous writers while some have to really labour to write a small piece. Everyone has a different style of writing. Some write in a light hearted way while some write serious stuff. It all depends on a person's experience in life.

I am an above average writer. I do not claim to be good because sometimes I make grammatical errors in my writings. My writing skills started developing after my interest in reading. I guess after seeing the printed words something deep inside me stirred, wanting to put down on paper my ideas and thoughts. The more I read, the better I became at writing. Unfortunately I have not been successful in seeing the books I wrote under my name. I made the mistake of giving up my rights because the publisher was a friend of mine.
all the best,

I am not sure if I am a good writer, though I do like to write. I do not write as many stories or poems as I did once. But I do write random articles and comment a lot on forums, lists and such. I suppose once I was driven by despair and lonliness, but now, though I am physically alone for many hours at a time, my heart does not feel so hopeless as it once did. There seemed to be so much detail in agony, but though I do have more positive inspiration, I do not seem to write as much in that way.

My family thinks I'm a good writer, but they might be a pit bias. I do enjoy writing, but am incredibly lazy. I also have a hard time coming up with story ideas.

I consider myself a good writer as I have copyrighted eighty-four songs and am in the midst of writing my seventeenth album.
It wasn't always like this for me as when I was in grade twelve English I only got a fifty percent grade and the only reason I got that was cause the teacher didn't want to see me another year in her class.
I first became an anthropologist althought this wasn't what I wanted to do in life so I studied astronomy and astrology and found that life on another planet might be more beneficial for me.
Of course I would have to take all my friends along too.
I am now writing a book on global enslavement and hope to have my publisher in New York printing this this year.

I am a writer. I'm not a story writer or a book writer, but I do write every day and I do get paid for writing articles and blogging.
I think I can write well because of my knowledge about use of language with correct grammar and punctuation. I have a good vocabulary and I know how to structure my work.
Does this make me a good writer? No, I think I am a skilled writer whose work can always be improved, but I do know I am a compulsive writer and I love doing it.

I write for money and have published some online articles. But my biggest dream is to write that novel in my head which is still stuck their. Why? I cannot find some time to put them because I have my day job and at the same time my night job which is freelance writing.
I also have a blog www.thesoulofthefree.blogspot.com
