What makes a good writer?
I can’t draw or paint but, think that words and their derivatives, synonyms, antonyms, adjectives and adverbs etc enhance the readers mental images of the writers intention.
A rhythm that moves through the text to maintain the reader’s ability to process text into sound and movement in the minds cinema.
A writer uses a device known as the stream of consciousness.
Dickens allegedly fell asleep holding a set of keys. At the moment of entering sleep, he relaxed thus dropping the keys involuntarily.
Startled, he found himself in a partial dream state.
He would record his thoughts which were flowing gently.
Shelley took opiates as catalyst.
The latter in my opinion, is not recommended.
Still, perhaps true talent is a rare commodity So beware of who has access to your intellectual property!

I have never heard that before about Dickens (I am a BIG Dickens fan). Where are you from, John? Do you live in Bognor? And are you interested in joining our group of writers? Julia
