Is it realistic to expect to have any hope of producing some decent writing without any 'training'?
Read everything I can get hold of. Would love to write but I'm my own worst critic and keep putting off actually writing anything - and I'm too embarrassed to even tell DH who'd think I was mad. As a teenager I turned out a number of quite good short stories and in my twenties I was shortlisted for a Fish Publishing competition (my one and only entry).
Trying to decide whether to give up and get on with my life, or make a serious effort to produce something.
Any thoughts?
