Can anyone write?
Sure, anyone can write. But can everyone write? No, writing is a talent that is acquired with much practice and time. Writing is a gift that not everyone has, but everyone desires. Anyone can tell a story, but not everyone can explain and describe a story. Often we get confused between simple communication and writing. Writing is the art of extracting thoughts onto paper. And that is not a gift that everyone has. Like I stated at the beginning, anyone can write something, but that doesn't mean that anyone will read it! That is the key to writing; a writer must write with the reader in mind. Because ultimately if the reader doesn't understand what you are writing about then, that is an unsuccessful writing piece.

I agree. Some forms of writing are meant to be simple communication, and they don't have to be any more than that (like writing a shopping list for yourself or texting your friend to see where he/she is). In most other cases, though, the written word has to be in a slightly different language than the spoken word.
