Well, I think you might be wrong. Consider my own situation. There are things I know I'm good at - All kinds of technical things, for instance. And I'm very intuitive in other ways. And a great prognosticator. Those are my strengths.

And there's things I know I'm bad at - like writing for instance. Well I knew I could write a bit on technical subjects, clearly and concisely. But creative writing, forget it. And I so admired the writers who could do it, who could play with words. It dazzled me. But I couldn't even write a little poem, or a song lyric.

So I didn't. Ever. And I read some stuff on this site. Some is brilliantly well written, but doesn't match my kinks. Some appeals to me, but sucks.

And one day (about four months ago) I just sighed and started writing out my splatter fantasy. I still don't think I can really write, but others seem to like it. And I suppose I'm improving a bit. Maybe my strength is my imagination. I don't really know.

And I've read your posts. I would say you're a better writer than me, at least technically. And you have some good ideas. Maybe you would surprise yourself. Personally I've been absolutely stunned by the feedback I've had. It's been completely unreal. But then again, I suppose it's a niche market, and people will take what they can get. When I re-read chapter 3, I still get a boner, and laugh in shock at the over-the-top splatter. And I cried when Kasia was reborn as the Sun-Goddess. And I don't even know how that chapter happened. I didn't plan it. It was supposed to be Kasia's birthday, but then I had to delay that for plot reasons, so I thought xmas or solstice. Then I thought of Sol, and laughed. Then the thing with the shrooms. None of it was planned.

I've heard that some writers say they are merely a conduit for the work, and now I kinda know what they mean, like when a character decides to do something crazy, and it changes the plot. Remember, Kasia was supposed to have been snuffed in chapter 3 too. I so much wanted to kill her off (Well, I kinda did in chapter 4.)

Anyway, I'm rambling again. But I'm just saying, if you try , you might surprise yourself, and might even find something profound.
