Now that the clickbait is out of the way
I am in fact in the process of writing a fiction book, at the moment purely for my own entertainment, there is some extremely calming and meditative about it, making up all these stuff and characters and world etc. is very fun and gets you thinking.
I know that there are some people here that like to write, and is not something I have really done myself, and wouldn't consider myself good at it either. Also, I have always been fairly bad at spelling, even in Danish, if it weren't for google, it wouldn't be pretty
But spelling can be solved, either with a program that seems to be rather good at reducing the number of errors one makes or someone else could do it.
Then there is the writing part, which is the interesting part I think because often we will hear someone say "That person is an amazing writer". But in the end, isn't writing simply to direct the flow of a story sort of like producing a movie? But the characters, plot, descriptions etc. one doesn't need to be good at writing to do, but rather be creative.
As an example:
Its round shape flew majestically through the air like a meteor through the atmosphere.
Or we could simply write
The ball flew through the air.
If we assume!! that the first sentence was good writing!, anyone despite how good they are at writing, could with pure creativity or imagination come up with such a sentence, regardless of how good they are at spelling as it is formed in your head anyway.
And obviously, the other part is the direction of the story itself, meaning that things make sense, and are told in an interesting and correct order.
Would be interested to hear from people that enjoy writing or know more about it than I do, is my assumption completely wrong?
