Leonardo DiCaprio

April 30, 2016

Your writing is getting a lot better.  You're much more articulate than you were 6 years ago.

That being said, I'm not the only person in the world who's a good writer and worth emulating for some things, which I'm assuming you've been doing in a grudging and competitive way.  There are thousands of people to read.

Maya Angelou wrote one sentence in a book that might be the reason that I got to be a good adult writer and not just a child prodigy.  She said "Real writers write every day."  Even if all a person writes is a page each day, a page of something, the practice of putting words on the paper is what separates writers from the merely verbally gifted.
