For me it's like the talent is there, but hindered by lack of discipline! Learning how to produce what others want to read rather than what I want to write is a challenge. I'm hoping the one will evolve into the other given time and practice. Or I could just remain a minnow for life. That's fine as well since writing helps me articulate my thoughts which I pass to my kids. Gotta make sure I'm telling them the truth as far as my knowledge permits.
