Read. Write. Risk.

These three words was the advice I was given years ago in my senior year of high school when I panned off the ability to make a life of writing for myself after having children so young. I knew writing doesn't pay diddly really, but now that I have strayed from the normal work till you die mindset, writing has renewed its sense of purpose in my life.  I hope you do take some classes, and I might mention there are tons of free classes online for that as well! Take advantage of your resources and enjoy the flow of prose.

Thanks for the input

I guess for me what makes the whole "good at writing" thing a bit peculiar is that writing isn't a passion of mine. While I like to blog on occasion or post on forums, that's all there is too it, that's basically the limit of my self expression. Despite that, I have been told that I should seek to develop my writing ability. This is an interesting territory because while I find it easy enough to write "academically", it's really out of my comfort zone to write "creatively".

And to be honest, I have never really been a creative person. As such, I think some classes are a good idea to really stretch myself. Who knows what might happen? But, for now it's just a curiosity to be good at something (apparently) that you are not really passionate about.
