| Fantasy writing. New  [+ favourites]
Alright then. Lately, I have been looking around the blogs of many contemporary fantasy authors and there seems to be a trend in the posting of articles focused towards how one might go about improving their writing skills and ability to write a fantasy novel.
Though I agree it is possible to improve your ability to write, as a general thing, I do not see how it is possible to learn how to write a fantasy novel without first having some skill, or natural talent. Essentially, my main argument is that whilst it is possible for people to improve their writing skills, it is not possible to simply improve ones own imagination, imagination of course being the foundation of the fantasy genre.
So, what do you think. Do you think that it is possible for one not to just improve their writing skills, but their ability to write a fantasy novel of publishable quality. Furthermore, do you also think that it is possible that an individual can learn to improve their imagination, without first ripping off every other idea presented before them?
Tell me what you think, please.
