I often ask myself what skills are necessary to be a good writer. 0 Do you have to (you) have a degree in literature or do a creative writing course? Is it absolutely necessary? Many people would probably say ‘yes’ but there are some who claim that you simply 1______________ learn how to write. You either have a talent for writing or not. And if you don’t, you 2______________ forget about a professional writing career as quickly as possible. This sort of advice 3______________ seem rather harsh but, on the other hand, I believe, people 4______________ go on hoping to become successful writers if there are absolutely no grounds for it. Of course, everybody 5______________ write stories or poems in their free time but it’s probably best to accept the fact that for many of us it 6______________ be a profession earning fame and fortune. The good news though is that you 7______________ sell books and have a large readership to enjoy writing.
