You're absolutely right, many of these qualities are characteristic of any successful person, but then why should an author be different? The point is that some people see writers as having some kind of 'otherworldly' genius that one can only be born with. I don't believe this to be true. I believe good writing can be grown, and I know this because I'm a living example. I didn't write this post to say, "If you have these qualities you should be an author." That's why I called it "author potential," the operative word being 'potential.' Anonymous,

They don't really define qualities that are unique to writers alone. I'm sorry but these are so generic to being a successful person, in my opinion.

Who knows, you might be the next big thing :) Never too late to start ... Suneel,

I 'think' I write in a compelling manner but as I do not have any pure written articles until now like novels, short stories, I presume I am not much into writing which can make me (stinking)famous. Nice article to read there. Ahem, that sounded a bit like me you were talking about.
