>>I disagree that some people have a writing gift.
That's utter crap. Some people have a gift -- whether it's the ability
to write, paint, draw, play music, sing, design circuit boards, etc.,
etc. -- by which "gift" means an innate ability, that is, they can do
"it" without ever having been taught. It doesn't mean that no one else
can play, write, design, etc., etc., as well as they can, it just means
that the person who has a "gift" can do "it" without being taught.
