Hey Neil, good to hear from you buddy. I've heard one or two new writers say that they can't write or that's they are 'no good'. when I first started to write 36 years ago, I could barely play a musical instrument but I had a strong belief that's I was going to write something extraordinary. I think that as a young person, that's kind of self-belief can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Equally, a negative outcome can be achieved through a lack of self belief. Essentially, new writers might do well to think they are a unique individual who will therefore bring a different perspective to the table. John Lennon once said that he believed he was in the best band in Liverpool, then England, then the world. He went on to say that believing that is what made The Beatles the band that they became. Don't get tangled up with arrogance, simply believe in yourself, learn your trade and hopefully write something extraordinary.
