Talent

• What, you dont have talent? I dont think so.
  Everyone has talent, whether they realize it or
  not. After all, what is talent if not passion for
  ones craft? Is talent in-born or is it something
  we have to learn? I believe both. Let me tell you
  my own story I was lucky enough to be born with
  talent. What does this mean? Means I was lucky
  enough to already have a passion for writing. But
  that doesnt mean that I didnt have to work hard
  to improve my writing. I did. Everyone has to. If
  you dont believe that you have in-born talent,
  just keep writing. Everyone, even a crappy writer
  (means all of us) can improve their
  writing easily.

Persistence

• The old debate skills vs. talent comes to mind.
  Which is essential? Both again. So what does
  skills mean? Persistence. Determination. Desire
  to succeed. A creative writer must have
  persistence. Success is, after all, merely the
  absence of failure. If it doesnt work the first
  time, no matter. Second time, no matter. Third
  time, no matter. Fourth time, no matter.
  Millionth time, likewise. I guarantee
  you will see success if you try.

Patience

• Theres no place for get-rich-quick-seekers in
  this world, and likewise, if you have a mentality
  for get-published-quick or get-success-quick
  it wont work. Period. One has to be patient in
  writing, goes without saying. (After
  all, patience is the ticket to success).

5
Ability to face criticism

•  I know, criticism isnt great to hear. Its so
  nice to hear praise, but when you hear criticism
  instead, you get all hot and afraid at the same
  time. But criticism is good. Its actually great
  for writers, especially if it gives constructive
  advice. But once in a while, trolls arrive and
  harsh criticism is thrown on you. Instead of
  hitting back, the best thing to do is to face it.
  So you must have the ability to face criticism.

6
Imagination

• Imagination is so helpful in writing that even I
  would sing its praises for days, they still
  wouldnt help. Have trouble conjuring ideas? You
  need to have a bright imagination. You need to
  imagine you need to ignore the naysayers. The
  well known advice is to think outside the box.
  Just apply it.

7
Technical ability

• Of all the six creative writing skills, this is
  quite the easiest. I know what youre thinking
  whats technical ability doing in a post about
  creative writing skills? Because you need to
  have some basic ability if you want to write. Pen
  and paper may continue to work well but its
  good to also learn the basics of typing (touch
  typing), web publishing and more.
