What is the aim or goal of your writing: I write because it is a much easier career for me than accountancy. I don't believe a writing talent is any more of a "gift" than a talent for numbers or baking pies or running a business. As Will Rogers said, "We're all ignorant, only on different subjects." Any success I have is attributable to persistence.
