Writing isn't something that's taught. It's something that is learned.

So it's just practice then. Maybe it's something I should try.

I used to write a lot as a kid, until lack of self-esteem caught up and pushed me down and I stopped. Maybe it's time to try again.

The problem with every skill, be it art, writing or whatever, is that when you ask for advice, people will tell you to do all kinds of professional things. Artists tell me I can't be an illustrator without attending a four-year degree, drawing from real-life models and drawing 10 real-life pictures per day. Writers tell me I can't write unless I read 52 books a year or so and major in English. And so on.

Sadly 99.9% of things I read are from the Internet now. Haven't picked up a novel since...the Hunger Games trilogy.

Read Watership Down. Why? Because badass bunnies, that's why.

Badass bunnies like Angel.

That, right there, was a smooth transition.
