Natural talent only goes so far, and inspiration doesn’t always blaze bright. (Writing teacher of over 30 years)
His main problem as is with any unschooled amateurs is writing.
They spend too much on what they consider perfection than simply writing it out. Also I find that gathering information for it is fun too. But then that is just me. I bull through obstacles like today when I wasn’t enthused, yet I did write something. You can do it too.

I fear anything good that I write may have been “borrowed” from god-only-knows & I’ll get sued for plagiarism.
