When we’re talking about talents, not abilities or expertise, I used to be quite the artist. Pencil and paper was my medium, but as I grew older (and was bombarded with my parent’s incessant “artists don’t make any money” shpiel), I kinda stopped doing it. I do miss it sometimes, but I find it difficult to get into again because of adult responsibilities and stuff.
I suppose I have a talent for organization and planning. Not that good at sticking to it in some cases, but very good at figuring out how to do things the correct way.
I also have a bit of talent for impersonation and storytelling, though being socially shy makes it one of those things that only appears amongst close friends and family. One thing I hear often is that I relate a story better than the way it happened, the way it appeared on television or in a book, etc. It makes me wonder, though: if I’m such a great storyteller, why can’t I get my ass on writing something already?
