my good friend's girlfriend's father was a painter. When Mike asked him about how to get better at writing he had this to say - paraphrase "there are few Picassos and Mozarts in the world". Everyone else must work constantly at their craft to improve it". Mike began writing that day and has never stopped. He has a daily diary book for pretty much each year since.
Beautiful baguette Will, love the ear and the sesame seed crust.
