For the serious writer, mastering the tools of writing is a life time goal. It has to be.
Aspiring writers sometimes have the feeling that passion will sustain them and give their writing value. I agree that passion can give heat to your writing, but it cannot give clarity, insight and control. For these things a writer needs control of written language. One way to get control of written language is to read good writers and to learn correct spelling, grammar, punctuation and the exact meaning of words.
An interesting thing happens to a writer who is constantly working to master the tools of writing. The writer is able to think more clearly and understands better what words can do and how to get them to do these things.
A writer must understand the basics of writing.

Writing: The Mysteries Of The Human Heart

We writers are so damn lucky. It is our job to capture life, in all its ugliness and beauty, and pin it to the wall.
And I mean pin it. A fair maiden is not captured by a faint heart. A good story is seldom written by a timid writer.

Night descends on the city
Where is the hope?
