Why I'll never be a great writer

I want to smell dark matter
I have no sense of allegory or metaphor; I can't write one thing and have it mean another. I have no skill with clever wordplay and lack the confidence to try, I lose concentration before I can finish a sentence I like ducks.
 
It just depresses me because I know I'll never be able to come close to his level of talent and any attempt to would come out as piss-poor imitation.
 
Depression, self-loathing, poverty, rage, alcohol & lack of concentration, quack, are key assets to good writing. I'm sure that if a drunk Welshman could be a famous poet, then there must be hope for you.
 
Wacky you could be the next Philip K. Dick! Seriously, you write some really good stuff. DON'T GIVE UP!

^ Yeah! What she said. I'll miss your stories when I leave.
 
You dont need talent to get a book published, you just need to be already famous for something else
 
Don't worry about being a good writer or a bad writer. Just write, because you like to do it. Let others fret about good, bad or BONC.
 
Write a book called Bonc. Then we will all tour round our various internet sites promoting it.

It's all gone artex monkeys!! they would say, the new publishing phenomenon
 
I could write a book called "read this book or you'll get AIDS" but then on the last page reveal that you ALREADY have AIDS anyway!
