My perspective on talent and creativity is the following:
There are people out there in this world who are born with a disposition that allows them to express their inner world more easily than others, and to commit to practicing their hobbies and inherently enjoying them without as much hassle. But, skill and creativity in of themselves are not innate, that is, anyone can be creative or skilled.
In that sense, creativity and skill are things you cultivate. Like a plant. Maybe your soil's more fertile, or it has more beneficial chemicals to the plant, or worms, that makes it grow faster. But ultimately, if you don't water it, if you don't give a damn, it'll wither and die. Similarly, you can have poor soil, but you can treat it, you can fertilize it, you can make it good.
In that sense, a person who doesn't cultivate their creativity will never be able to express it, no matter how proficient they are. And a person who works to practice regularly can cultivate their creativity, even if initially they couldn't even make something without copying another, until they create great works that others can admire.
So really, maybe not. Maybe you aren't creative enough to do what I do, although I don't think it's even that impressive to begin with. But it doesn't have to stay that way, you weren't BORN that way. You can change it, you can go out there, do your writing reps, and eventually you might become even better than me. Maybe you'll create a famous visual novel, or a book, or a comic, you might even get paid for this whereas I do not. I think that's something anyone can do, they just have to put their mind to it.
Only through reps can one achieve greatness. Start small, maybe do some vanilla stuff with Kronii first, and then you can try wilder stuff, and always try to be aware of your limits. If nothing else I believe in you.
