Re: What makes a good writer?
A good writer also needs to be able to learn from their mistakes and grow. I'm still learning to do this part haha. I always find it so hard to take constructive criticism for my work, but I think a good writer is able to take this on board and use it to help develop themselves.

Yes, a grasp of language and a good imagination is needed, but the best writers have always been great storytellers.
No matter how imaginative the story is or how exquisite the sentence structure is, no writer will be successful if his storytelling skills can't capture the reader and keep him reading to the end.
