#WritersCoffeeClub Day 19: Do you agree with Hillary Mantell, who said the best qualities for writing are self-confidence and a little arrogance?
Uhhh
I guess I think the best qualities for writing are as follows:
- A durable desire to write something good
- Some kind of command of whatever language it is you're writing in
- Enough persistence to get you through the times you wish you'd done better
So no, apparently I don't agree 😅
