But there are writers-- people who are good at crafting a sentence, using the right words, a strong and distinct voice.
And there are storytellers- someone who can communicate a story, no matter how old/tried/true/annoying and make tons of people fall in love with the story, despite the adverbs, passive writing and shitty sentences.
Don't be fooled into thinking you don't need both. Especially those of you who love the idea of being a "literary novelist"
I'm not the best story-teller. I've read a lot, so I have a natural sense for where a story should go, but I struggle to put together a plot.
But I can sometimes write a great sentence!
Sometimes.
