It is true, what they say, that everyone can write. Not everyone can write well though, and no one can write well without practice. Consider this:

Vanessa was a genius. She knew this because she felt it in herself and because no one had yet contradicted the notion to her satisfaction. Long after her death, generations would argue over the relative merits of her particular genius, but eventually, after a short period of disrepute, her various words and sayings would resonate with, perhaps, the children of her grandchildren. I dear readers, am that genius.

Sad, isn't it?
