Use your Talent
"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, "I used everything You gave me."

Is (Writing) Talent Enough?
Writer's Digest on FaceBook poses the question, "Does Talent Eventually Get Discovered?"
Reading 100 stories by 100 different writers and you will find maybe (I'm guessing) 5 stories that really stand out. Out of those 5, 1 just might have that exceptional talent to craft words in such a unique way - the reader never forgets.
But is that (writing) talent enough?
Can someone with mere exceptional writing talent succeed in publishing?
Should they have a good personality for interviews?
Good marketing ideas on how to sell their book?
What else besides writing should someone possess to really make it?
