What are you good at?

[DanaC]

Decided to post something else as well. I got to thinking about it after I posted that last bit. I've always been a pretty good writer. I use words well, always have, but is that a skill or a talent? For a long time I wrote short stories and even made a few attempts at something longer. The writing I am good at....maintaining a project beyond the first stages less so. Nonetheless I always thought of myself as a prose writer. Partly because I was not much good at writing poetry.

Poetry though, I have worked at. Over the last six or seven years I have worked on my ability to express ideas through poetry and I think I have become quite good at it. Consequently, though I am probably a better prose writer than I am a poet, I am more proud of my poetry than I am of my regular writing.
