Letters to the Editor

This letter is associated with the following article:
What if I have no talent? How can I find out? Who can tell me?
  • a curdled soul is an option

    Some time ago a person that I know told me that I write well. I was writing short stories at the time. Unfortunately, I decided that I have little to say about the important issues of our time. So, about a year ago, I decided to become a troll in the letters section at Salon.

    If you go to the supermarket and pick up a novel you will discover that lack of talent is no great barrier to getting published. Ultimately, it's all about believing in yourself.
