If that's referring to me, like I said I didn't go to uni, I went on an evening and I went after spending many years at writing groups. I am also a voracious reader who loves words.
You either have a talent for it, or you don't, but anyone can get better if they practise and have help. I've spent many evenings listing to turgid, overwritten prose produced by people who after receiving their feedback from the rest of the group replied with 'well I'm not changing a word as it's perfect' despite it being painfully dull.
One of the most charming, wonderful pieces of writing was written by a guy who left school at 15 and it was his life as a gardener, sounds so dull but we all looked forward every month to the next bit as he had a wonderful way with words, that really deserved to get published.
She really needs to find a writing group, take a piece she is working on and listen to her feedback but in her own words SHAN'T!
