Finding Literary Ability In Your Writing

by Cecile Cinco

The most common avenue of the decade to express yourself in writing is through blogs. There are well written blogs as well as poorly written ones, in terms of literary quality.

Before blogs, the only people who can expose their literary ability are those who can publish their own books. Novels are very much in demand either to feed the reader's fantasies (romance) or intellect (espionage) or enliven their imagination (action, horror, sci-fi).

(DIY, reference, non-fiction books are not necessarily literary written. They are there to instruct based on the author's knowledge of something. They are factual, regardless if it was written by someone who could not even spell write.) :D

Literary ability is seen in story tellers and poets. Story telling/writing is different from poetry writing but they both fall into the art of literary world although a story writer cannot always write a poem, nor the poet can always write a novel. Some people are gifted, though, they can do both.

How can you find literary ability in one's writing?


Take a look at the small g. If it forms a number 8 instead of the usual g taught in school, that's gifted with literary ability.

Specimen 1: Karla

by Cecile Cinco

Finally, in came our first specimen. I gave it a border so the margin is visible. You can click on the image to get the actual size.

It is the first time I "met" the person as I did not know her previous to receiving her specimen.

I'd like to analyze this now but I have pressing deadline. It's Friday afternoon and I have to prepare for the Sabbath. I'll just post this up and continue Saturday evening when I get back from Church.

Meanwhile, here are some points about Karla:

- friendly type (not much, just enough)
- has literary ability
- can keep secrets
- too many pie-in-the-sky goals
- generous
- image and self the same
- irritable
- inquisitive (learns by asking questions)
- does not hold grudges
- does not get hurt (feelings) easily
- materialistic
- strong gut feeling (intuitive)
- risk taker
- weak energy
