The ability to continuously learn and dogged persistence would be my top two picks but there are many others. It can be a lonely life sometimes. You have to be ready to spend long, often frustrating, hours in empty rooms alone with nothing but your imagination, laptop, or pen and paper. You have to be prepared to hear thousands of no's before you get a yes. Sometimes even when you get a yes the opportunity vaporizes (like this one). You really have to do it for the love of the craft alone or else you won't be at it long. When all of the stars are in alignment and you're working on something and get it right it is so sublimely satisfying, it's like nothing else in the world.

Thank you for the answer.
Why I ask is that I am a writer(you can check my blog to confirm that) but I am always aiming to improve myself more and more by getting advice, tips and experience ideas from people so as to help improve myself.
That is why I asked
You're welcome! That's great, how long have you been writing? Another lesson I've learned is to write for yourself instead of to please your audience. It can be a difficult life but it's also a very rewarding one if you stick with it.
As long as I can remember.
I remember when I was small a kid I mean, I usually write short stories and long stories but at times whenever I start writing the long stories one most especially, I find it difficult to conclude it.
I stopped writing stories and move to writing motivational write up and that I did for some years also before finally moving to the business and science genre because
(1). I am a lover of science (science student to be precise)
(2). I am a lover of business write up also.
It has really been longed I must say. Perhaps around 12-15 years ago
