Have What It Takes To Be A Good Writer? by africhika(f): 4:42am On Sep 08, 2009
i've always been fascinated by the personas of good writers. they all seem to share similarities. so what do you think makes one a good writer? what are some key traits? i'll start:


#1 A good writer must be observant. they must watch more than they speak. that's not to say that only quiet people make good writers. but all good writers are keen observers.

next??
cool

A good writer must be able to get in touch with his/her audience,let'em feel whatever is been written about.

Hey hey hey,

, this is hard to say, but, well,

In a nutshell, a good creative Writer is the one with a creative thinking, because fictions are nothing but the truths of lies, a very good creative writer will know that there is nothing like a fiction because fiction is also experienced in your mind or imagination before putting them down.

A lot of writers are cynical people who take neither themselves nor the world very seriously. Think about it: everyone sees these things yet only person decides to write about them.

Almost forgot!

A good writer must be a witch or wizard at weaving and manipulating plot lines. He/ She must manipulate the beginning, the middle and the end to awe the audience in a way that no one else does it.
