Krystal on Writing

I think anyone can be a good writer that has patience, imagination, and willingness to learn. No one was born a perfect writer with an innate sense of flawless sentence structure, word choice, rhetorical devices, and grammatical rules. We all have to learn the language. Everyone has a unique view because of our own experiences and perspectives and therefore we all have the potential to create some truly amazing writing. Practicing the right techniques is all it takes to polish what we already know and reach our potential.
