How do you capitalize on your natural talent?
Do you take courses to polish your skills?
How do you apply what you are learning?
Do you practice specific techniques  and keep them in a swipe file so that you
can look back at them and see your improvement?
(Don't look at them for a while, when you learn not to get discouraged by
a critical examination of your writing and are ready, instead, to be challenged
to improve and get better)
Do you work on developing yourself, not just to make money?
Can you map out a steady track for your readers so that you will not leave
them behind?
Do you know what are the weak areas in your writing, so you
can improve them?
Are you willing to improve steadily?

Write about it in your journal or writer's notebook.
