Are there really people out there like the ideal writer described in the poem?
Is there anyone like that?
I have my doubts, but maybe that's just because I practice writing in an almost completely different way than the poem's ideal.
And here I thought I was with the majority? Isn't there a saying that goes "all writers hate writing" ?
Nothing in writing is natural but the creative aspect of it - the actual formulation of ideas and plots and stories. All other things, like the physical putting of pen to paper, is by nature a practiced medium. Even language is a practiced medium, as are any words we use to express ourselves. These things are taught, and do not flow from the writer's head naturally (we can't read and write from the womb), so there is bound to be some sort of a process and stumbling blocks.
So I think if you have the need and drive to create in your head you can make a good writer, but only through practice, and you must practice in order to be a master of the creative medium.
