The idea that anyone can become a great writer is simply not true, and I think it denigrates the incredibly difficult journey that is writing well. Would anyone be able to sing? Anyone be able to act, paint, play harmonica?
Of course anyone can DO IT but they can they do it in the sort of transcendent way that draws people in, makes the words resonate with you for long after you’ve read them? Or even makes you want to keep reading after the first couple of pages?

Otherwise, enjoyed the interview.
