I write stories which are okay at times. I get some ideas from things around me and other people's fanficion, But sometimes when I look at how good other people are it makes you want to try harder. If you keep practicing will you get as good as writters who were born with the talent?

Talent takes practice. Talent can only make you good. Practice makes you a master.
Conversely, if you have little to no talent for something, patience and practice can take you about as far as talent alone. One-on-one, they're evenly matched, but combine the two, and you've got yourself some real skill.
On a different note, talent doesn't have to be something you're born with; you can grow talent through dedicated practice. You write and write and write, and one day, the missing piece snaps into place and you discover that hey, you're actually good at this!
That's what I think, at least.

I think that you will. I probably shouldn't be talking since I am only in the middle of my first fanfic, but as you pointed out to me I have made a ton of mistakes. So I am going to have to keep practicing till I get the hang of it. Seeing how I barely have the time to write my fanfic that will take a long time, but I think I will get better and you will to.

Practise spawns talent and talen spawns practise. If you have talent in something, you'll tend to practise it, right? It's like the saying, "use it or lose it".
I like that last quote! "use it or lose it" That sounds really cool 4laugh Well I think he's right along with Loki's dedication thorey.

If I have learned anything from Naruto, then yes. Seriously though, I do believe that practice can meaure up but, much dedication is required.

[[Naruto!!! Yay!!!]]
I agree with Loki, part of it is dedication. So even if you pratice a lot I thin you need dedication to pull through.

See, as much as I loathe being negative, I don't think that it can. There are many things that I love doing, but stink at, and my friends can't stand doing but are really good at. I think that to be your best you need practice, but I think that what ever your gifts are is where you can potentially go beyond success.

That's a good point, Love_to_live. I really like singing, but I'm awful at it. Maybe, if I got a voice trainer and practiced for the rest of my life, I could become passably good, but I'll never be Martina McBride.

"use it or lose it" That sounds really cool 4laugh Well I think he's right along with Loki's dedication thorey. Rush is right here. In this world, the only way one can become better at something is to practice it. We are born with a set of genes, but that doesn't determine what we will be good at through practice. If it was...then my entire religion is doomed to "failure". We were all given choice, and a set of genes that control our entire lives is not choice. When I look back on the first years I've written...well...let's just say that I don't look at that stuff for long. Why? Because it is completely atrocious. I can see a great improvement in my work from then till now. And the only way that that happened was through practice. I explored my talents and explored all possibilities open to me in the literary world, and that is what taught me how to be the writer I am today. Within practice, there is a factor that you need to accept in order to succeed in becoming better. Failure. You will find that there is always a space for improvement, and you need to build up on that in order to...well...Improve. And one way I see things is...determination is just a person at practice.
