Children of a lesser god

Writing is a joy, it is, or rather it can be, as expressive as you let yourself be. Think back to when you started driving, remember how exhausting it was... Checking the road, mirrors, pedestrians, your dashboard, other cars... it was all just so exhausting.

Now, years later, it is almost automatic. Heck, there are probably times when you can't even remember the trip!

Well writing is like that, the more you write, the easier it becomes.

I accept that some people have a head-start in their writings, some people are just 'switched on' to writing from a young age. But writing is not a skill you are born with and it can be taught or learned.

Just as I believe that some people have a head-start, I also believe that some people have a handicap (quite funny. but no pun intended). Dyslexia, muscular difficulties, visual problems can all hinder a person's ability to write. I can definitely attest that this is the case with me, but the opportunity to express yourself is such an empowering, cathartic process that people with those difficulties have (arguably) more to gain from writing than the average bear.
