Is there such a thing as a good or a bad writer? I have battled with this thought in my head for quite too long. I think it’s time to unleash my thoughts!
As a writer, I have experienced that newbies in writing are always chased by an incessant thought – they are not good enough. I’m sure to this many of you may agree. Or was it just me? 😛
When I began writing, I would always feel that something’s amiss. Whatever I did felt insufficient, unsatisfying. A need to do better prevailed even after multiple edits were done. Thoughts somehow seemed insignificant, unrealistic. I’ll be downright honest – the nagging thought that I am not a good writer made most of my days worse, with no inspiration to scribble even a sentence.
So then how does one become a good writer? As many of you are prepping up for the NaNoWriMo, does this thought cross your mind too? Is there such a thing as a good or a bad writer?
I say yes. I have met them both. They both live inside of me, renting out rooms in my mind. Motivating yet belittling. Praising yet critiquing. At times, they drive me crazy with their endless banters, but I’ve got to find a balance if I do not wish to lose sanity.
So here goes, certain instances that both have enjoyed, leaving me restless.
Good writer (GW): I think this post is amazing, reflecting my thoughts perfectly.
Bad writer (BW): This writing is so bad, it makes no sense. You are too naïve to see through the gaps and will fall right through it.
~~~~~
BW: You’ll never rise up the pedestal. Look how shabbily you write!
GW: But I’m doing everything I can, why then you say this?
BW: And don’t you see how badly you fail?
GW: But I will learn it in time. I will be better.
BW: I bet you won’t. You will receive nothing out of this trial. Better quit, do something else.
~~~~~
And I’ve been pestered for years. Phew!
What I’ve learned after careful observation is this –
The insecurities, uncertainties make the bad writer. The grit, the dedication make the good one.
I have struggled in vain, to eradicate these thoughts, but gained nothing. They are both here to stay. I better choose who I listen to, and who I ignore.
There’s no such thing as a good or a bad writer. So don’t be afraid or intimidated. One learns and grows – it’s as simple as that! Everyone has a unique style of writing, and that’s it. Nothing good, nothing bad. If you write, you’re a good writer. PERIOD!
What do you think guys? Do you think such a thing as a good or a bad writer exists? Share your thoughts. Let’s talk!
Happy writing till we meet next.
Until then, carpe diem! 🙂

In my opinion, anyone who is brave enough to fight past those doubts and fears and insecurities, to knowingly bare to the world their scars and soul and SELF…that person is an AMAZING writer. Even if they muster up that courage only once in their lifetime. Even if it is but a single word.
As for the “bad” writer…well, I try to look at it from another perspective whenever I start slipping into that slump of self sabotage. I remind myself that even if I DON’T get a word out, this time, just being willing to come back to it again makes me a “good” writer. And that gives me the self confidence to try again the next time. Most of the time, anyway.
The biggest obstacle I struggle with is getting past the idea of being judged by others, and found wanting. “You sound pompous and pretentious. Stilted and awkward. You can’t really write, you’re only trying to fool people into thinking you can. And it will be obvious to anyone who reads this.” “This sounds juvenile, like it was written by an elementary school kid. “You can’t really write, you’re only trying to fool yourself into thinking you can. And it will be obvious to anyone who reads this.” Sometimes, I’ll take a great piece and, convinced that I’ll be reviled or ridiculed, I’ll rip it to shreds, leaving behind a mess of words mangled beyond repair. Unable to shake this fear that eats at me, that people will think I’m either a boring know it all or a dumb buffoon, I find it far too easy to just give up. Why bother?
I think a lot of people reach this point of frustrated apathy, or at least someplace similar. In my opinion, how they move forward from there will determine not if they’re a bad writer, but if they’re a good writer falling into bad habits. Because to me, there is no such thing as a bad writer, just good writers who get stuck in in a cycle of bad writing choices. For instance, when I’ve reached the point where I feel like giving up for good, the best thing to do is to take a break. There is nothing wrong with stepping away from a piece and taking a break before coming back to it. The bad habit trap begins when I start finding reasons, or coming up with reasons, to NOT go back. Procrastination is my mortal enemy. And commitment and I, well, we aren’t always on the greatest of terms, either. When I get bogged down by doubts, I don’t always feel like a “good” writer, but it isn’t until I catch myself making excuses not to write that I actually feel like a “bad” one.
What this rather lengthy musing boils down to then, I guess, is that for me, good or bad is a matter of perception. Every writer is amazing, and the other two words only apply to their practices, not their person. It isn’t about talent, or anything else involving skill, really. To me, a writer is only good or bad when it comes to their habits and self discipline.

I’ve found through reading and writing, everyone has different styles and a uniqueness that is their own. I have had teachers praise my writing, when I was in school, and some that I could never please. There is a reason there are all different ways to express yourself in words; we are all unique. Embrace the writing, don’t over think it, and realize the more you write, the more you improve upon your own style and expression!

I believe a write up is a relative thing. What is perceived as a piece of “bad writing” by someone, might appeal to another. Leo Tolstoy never won a Nobel Prize. That does not make him any less of a writer than others who won the prize. Honestly, I am so addicted to James Hadley Chase books, widely considered as garbage 🙂 In this case, along with the writer, the reader too is pure trash.

i feel the ‘mood’ determines, rather differentiates the good & bad writer, If you force your mind to think and your hands to write just because you wanted to write something, then the odds go downside.

Dear by the way, this article confirms that you are not a bad writer at all.
I think there’s nothing called good or bad writer… because everyone thinks differently. Thinking can be bad and good… when it is expressed it can be termed as bad or good. If bad thinking projected on a write up and people hated it then it’s a good write up 😂😂😂. Because bad thinking projected so well that it termed as bad.
Yeah, I have encouraged everyone to pen down their thoughts… and give someone to make it presentable if you are not good enough. Thoughts matter the most… nothing else….

There is no good or bad writer…if you write then you are a writer. That’s it.
The product, on the other hand, is a different story. Writers, each of us, can write great stories, blogs, articles, etc… just the same we can all write poorly from time to time.
Creating a good product, after all, is a skill. And as humans we all make mistakes.
The difference in writing something well versus writing something that falls flat, as I see it, is the inspiration behind your writing. Are you writing without desire or thought, or do you write with your heart and mind to create something beautiful? If you do this, then the written piece will always have meaning, and thus, be good.
I’m hoping to have a blog posted along these same lines tomorrow. Check back then if you’d like to contribute to a discussion on inspiration.

Bad writers don’t understand this, which is precisely what makes them bad writers. They presume their writing has achieved a certain level of excellence, so they are often closed off to editing or rewriting. They can seem haughty, prideful, and arrogant.
But really, it’s laziness and fear (mostly fear).
Why don’t they edit? Why don’t they write ahead? Why do they give into the myth of the overnight genius? Because they’re afraid of putting the work in and failing. As a result, their work is scattered and disconnected, not nearly as good as they think.

Good writers practice. They take time to write, crafting and editing a piece until it’s just right. They spend hours and days, just revising.
Good writers take criticism on the chin and say “thank you” to helpful feedback; they listen to both the external and internal voices that drive them. And they use it all to make their work better.
They’re resigned to the fact that first drafts suck and that the true mark of a champion is a commitment to the craft. It’s not about writing in spurts of inspiration. It’s about doing the work, day-in and day-out.
Good writers can do this, because they believe in what they’re doing. They understand this is more than a profession or hobby. It’s a calling, a vocation.
Good writers aren’t perfectionists, but they’ve learned the discipline of shipping, of putting their work out there for the world to see.

“If you write, you’re a writer.” – – – You meant “you’re a good writer”???
I think, who writes from heart feels good whereas if you don’t have that may feel a bit forced. This is from self. On the quality of the writing, it is purely the perception and type of the readers. Usually a passionate writer, that does not affect much. He/she will be open and keeps writing… Of course, that will make the writer refined and more matured in his style and choice of words to express him/her.
Yeah, summary is… there are good and bad at times from the perception of each writer and each reader…. for each of the creations!
