Can somebody become a good writer even though they haven studied literature/creative writing at university?
Well I’m an aspiring writer I guess you could say. I sucked at writing and I mean really sucked, now everyone says I write so well and that I’m so creative. Well I’ve always been creative just didn’t know how to express it well on paper. I think somebody can be a good writer without taking classes at a university, but you can’t become a good writer with learning or practicing in some way. I took a couple nonfiction writing classes and that helped a lot. I have gotten books on writing and I read a lot and take mental notes on how others write. If you really want to do something, then you have to commit to and learn as much as you can.
