Hmm... I'd like to read your short story... but you can't put it on myLot if it's online somewhere else but, you can copy/paste it into the pms, though, if you want to... I don't like writing stories but I can do it. It's hard in English, too. (Mmmm! I just took a big bite of broccoli. Yumm! Do you want to see the picture of the broccoli again?) I slept today, just like I do most days...

It still an achievement if you can make a story. I wish I can write but the only Filipino write up I made was an oratorical piece when I was in high school. I wrote the piece in tagalog , delivered it and won second prize in the division level..

@DevMrSamEleazar you can always try. One of my college friends turned out to be a prolific writer after college. She never manifested if she had any writing abilities then, during group reports I was even the one assigned to do the introductory part while she did the quantitative analysis. What I am driving at is that it can be honed. Practice makes perfect.

Writing is something not everyone can just do. Many writers, myself included, have something happen often where we feel like the story is writing itself—in other words, good writing often times comes naturally. If you have to force it, it likely won't be worth reading.
