Although every piece of art is food for the soul in its own magical way, I find writing to be a very challenging branch when it comes to two important aspects - perceiving it and creating it. A painting is something you can see, music is something you can hear, but text is something that needs to be developed in your mind while you're reading. As a writer, you need to make sure that those mental images that are evoked in a reader's mind while they are reading your work are interesting, to say the least. It sounds really difficult, because it is, but it is not impossible to learn. The fact that you're not a particularly gifted singer doesn't mean that you can't develop a lovely singing voice if you invest your efforts that way. That goes the same for being a good writer.
Create a Productive Ritual In order to become a good writer, you need to practice and be very determined about it. You should treat it as if it were any other job and write every single day. I know that creativity isn't an inexhaustible source, and it can be very challenging for a writer to keep their focus and transfer it onto a blank piece of paper or screen in front of them, but that's exactly what you need to do. Inspiration can be found even in the smallest things around you - you just need to awaken that curiosity in you and allow it to take you places. You probably consider it to be a bit contradictory to have a working schedule and daydream at the same time, but you need to harmonize these two things in order to create a piece with a beginning and an end. That is why you need to create a sort of office, a comfortable place in your home (or in a mountain cottage, wherever) where you're comfortable, undisturbed, and focused, so you can let your mind work.
