Working hard at something and getting better at it is more rewarding then being inherently good at it. This is something we should all have a limited degree of understand of as people who enjoy video games.
In the past I had great difficulty afford to me thanks to being dyslexic with many different things. Reading out loud has always been very difficult because of the amount of time i have to take to process each word makes my reading out loud very stilted and awkward. I worked hard at finding other ways to read and better yet, memorization, I have since gotten very skilled at memorizing things said out loud or entire speeches. In college I once had a professor try to dock me points because i didn't use any note cards. Until I explained that I'm better off that way. Obviously this ability to repeat things verbatim has come in hand in my career as a detective.
Currently, I'm working hard at being a better... creative writer. I was fair at it once, but that part of my brain has atrophied from years of writing police reports where everything must be cut and dry, just the facts, straight to the point, chronological. I tried writing my perspective of LA Noire, as an actual detective i thought it would be interesting to folks, but I can't seem to get the transitions right, or stop from going on tangents.
I really want to practice and write a family biography detailing my grandfather, uncle, father and myself. This is well beyond my abilities.
Any people that have made actual money writing have any general advice?
General question: What is something you struggled with but were able to overcome via practice and hard work?
That is a good question Captcha... Magic anywan?
