Wanting for Talent

Everybody has a talent of some form or shape, despite beliefs to the contrary. That's one of the things that makes each person unique. In that junction that connects the heart, mind and soul lies at least one talent. It can go by the term "knack," if "talent" seems too high-brow.

I don't know if I have a talent for writing. In the past I've made the impression on observers that I have a special way of writing. They've pointed this out to me, and yet I'm still finding the whole nature of it. What makes it tick, so to speak. I've always considered the lack of endurance as my biggest writing challenge. I may have written a few articles and some poetry (a number of them published) but I've never completed a story to my liking. I stop midway through a draft, knowing precisely how it would end yet drained of the ammunition to physically complete it.

Thanks to the Web, I've been able to find lots of resources that can help me rediscover my writng skills, and maybe realize or reconfirm that there is talent there. If there isn't, at least I could reach a point where I can write fully and confidently, and later make some sense out of whatever drivel I compose. Magic takes years to perfect, and I promise myself I'd make as much time as I need.
