I don't know if I'm a good writer. I personally believe that I am mediocre and need to study some more, as writing was just a personal satisfaction for myself growing up. We didn't really write a lot in school when it came to papers, etc. We were taught (even in high school) to focus more on spelling, definitions and things that were related to taking all of those wonderful standardized tests. I grew up in Florida, my last year of high school was in Alabama. My honors English professor was difficult. Dr. Hannah, because he focused on a LOT of writing. I didn't do so well in his class, but I still made it! :-)
So, I think I have a LOT of improvement, despite the compliments I receive on anything I have written. I want to be fantastic, not mediocre. I think for me to know that I'm a GOOD writer, I would have to pass my work out to those who are experienced and those who others turn to for writing advice. They would have to give it the stamp of approval. :-)
