Those are the words of our mentor, David Farland. What does that indeed mean? Like any other skill set, practice and perseverance over time lead to mastery. Some people will advance faster than others, and some may have a natural talent that needs to be fine-tuned. Each of our journeys will be different. Most things are possible if you keep at it and want it bad enough.

One proven method of speeding up the learning process is to get a teacher or mentor who can cut time off the learning curve.
