The Nature and Aim of Fiction

According to Flannery O'Conner he believes that you can take all the writing classes and still not get any better at writing, rather you would get better at understanding the limits and possibilities of words and give them the respect they deserve. He also believes that anyone can write forever, but the writer is always continuesly learning how to write. Through education and using your sight sense as well disapline can help anyone write better.
He also believes that anyone who lived through his/her childhood has all the life information that he/she needs to survive and live the rest of their life. I feel that if you had survived a rough and tough childhood, as an adult you can do anything to succeed. What is needed to help us do this is the visions from our eyes, and educational understanding as an individual to survive and write what we know.

Hi, just a quick correction. Flannery O'Connor is a woman (I noticed you continued to use the pronoun "he" instead of "she").
