Let's Get Started... Can Writing Be Taught?

People Need Some Knowledge...


All around the world, at this very moment, people are being taught something – in schools, colleges, at tutor’s lessons, at a dinner table – in the academic sense. People receive new information, theoretical foundation for enriching their knowledge base, acquire new skills and become more “educated”, implying the fact those being taught perceive the information, interpret it and store in their minds for further use and implementation.

Is It Art or Science?

Writing, on the other side, along with some other disciplines deemed to have more from art than from science or academic innovations, has been viewed as something one can have an inborn talent to accomplish, not something one can master having compiled the heard advice, the received pointers, the necessary instructions and the explained techniques. Without a doubt, strict and straightforward guidelines, the ability to extract just the needed portion of information from numerous sources, blending it together with own interpretations and structuring the gathered content into a well-composed paper following all the rules of the English language might do the trick in terms of producing a piece of writing one can be positively graded for. After all, having all instructions and guidelines under one’s belt, it is hard to do something wrong, but can the writing be called a truly unique, nicely composed, innovative in its own manner and interesting to read piece of writing? Probably, not quite.

Is It Really The Gift That Matters?


Writing techniques can be taught, paper formats can be mastered, but having this natural ability to make the paper flow, to brushstroke through the blank canvas with words, ideas and thoughts and turn it into a masterpiece requires another kind of talent – not the gift to learn and gather information, but the gift to find the right words and enjoy the very process of writing.
 


I do enjoy it and I hope You will enjoy it as well! Share your own opinion upon the topic. I am so eager to read it :-)
