Take note. Some writers exist that can just set down to pen and paper, or in front of their computer, and with very little effort, pen award winning stories and poems with very little exertion. The majority of us writers do not write that easily though. We must work at it. We will start with a draft, a very basic idea that will grow through numerous revisions and restarts.
Some people think that you are either a writer or you are not. That no amount of classes or practice will take you from the point of being someone who wishes they could become published to someone who is worthy of it. For those that write in rhyme, this is even more of a stereotype. I would argue the point simply for those that truly have words and stories that they want to share and just do not understand the process. If someone is willing to learn, and writes whether or not publication is a possibility, simply because to do it as a basic a need to their daily existence as breathing, chances are they will eventually produce work that is publishable. However, as with anything in life that someone really wants, that will be when the truly hard part begins.
