:)  You've got to fall down and hurt yourself before you realize that skateboards aren't instant fun.

Yeh, but I'm pretty sure most of us can work out not to stick ourselves in the eye with a knife without prior experience. There is lacking skill and being stupid.

I think most people who want to write need to read more. Reading is the best thing you can do for your writing.

Totally agree.  I think maybe the problem with all the bad stuff out there is that the authors don't realize how bad they are. (And sometimes people don't tell you these things).

Starting with the words "fiction novel."

I agree with you both. You see it in all media. How many singing contestants were on TV and were terrible? Yet no-one warned them that they sucked.

 

Reading really is like research and education for a writer. You have to be a reader first.
