If you are going to be a legal writer expect 5 years to become proficient. There are steps along the way. Creative writing offers opportunity to experiment; however a career in creative writing is a long road. The best way to become diligent is to undertake a commitment to yourself personally. For many reason you have heard the saying “starving artist” or “tortured artist” and “don’t quit your day job!”
Perception – You must have insight and awareness to all the senses and to observation. This creates an attention to detail and a vision for understanding the correlation between voice and behavior, understanding the relationship between science and the mystic and realizing the logic of the universe.

Though it is acceptable to present a certain point of view, you the author are the creator who must control and understand all it is to know in your thoughts.
