I once asked a skilled artist I was paying for private tuition, 'how he did something'.  He picked up a brush and with a flourish of his had, he did that special technique I had been striving to learn.  The master's secret brush stroke. 
    "So that's how it's done," I said excitedly.
    "No!"   He snapped that answer at me.  "Forty years of doing that, is how it is done."
So I went home and I did as he told me to do. I practiced what he showed me sixteen hours a day for a decade until I was as good as he was, then glowed when he complimented me that of all the people he had shown his skills to, I was the only one who had done as he said, developed them and become a true artist.  I glowed in receiving his praise.  I was not a naturally talented painter any more than I am naturally talented as a writer.  When I bought my pottery studio which cost me thousands of dollars I could not understand it when people said, 'but what if you cannot make pottery?'  For goodness sake...you learn it you practice it...if you want to do it you just do it. 

A few of my friends are charging away with their NaNoWriMo word count and others are concerned that they are not getting up a word count as they are still struggling to get into a story.

Thing is if they are in there and trying, having committed to write the novel draft, they are doing better than those who never try. Better than I did for the 50 years that I postponed writing a novel, believing I would not have the skill or the time.  How silly of me.  No one has the time unless they steal it back from something else not do we have the talent until we learn it, develop and nurture it.

As a former successful gallery owner who made a life career from the arts I can tell you..."NO ONE is born talented. NO ONE.   Even Rembrandt had to acquire his talent though learning and practice."

We may be born with a passionate drive and desires to achieve something but we all start out not being able to do things and need to learn how. Only those who make the effort 'become talented.'
Don't believe the myth that you are supposed to be good at it, when you begin something.

You can apply this to any skill you desire.
You need to learn how, practice and constructively critique your work, there isn't a short cut to inquiring talent and this means if you have the desire to commit, whatever it will take, you too can reach that stage where others will say, lol, 'Oh but they are lucky, they were naturally talented. ;-).
