The world is cruel - poem - prompt- 'life warrior, cruel" - day 6/31

One thing i would say I'm good at is writing and typing, I've always loved reading novels from a very young age and seeing how interesting the use of words can be, i developed a thing for writing myself and i began to write, when i discovered steemit i began to join writing communities where i was able to hone my writing skills.

At some point, i wasn't comfortable about my writing speed and how my writing couldn't keep up with my imagination and i sought to change that. I used to pick my letters on the keyboard and couldn't type without staring at the keyboard as i had little knowledge where the key placements were. I found a site online where i could work on this and within two weeks i began to average 40 words per minute. It was still slow but it was ok as at then. Now I'm averaging speeds of 75 wpm as shown below.

Overtime, I've entered some writing contests and I've performed excellently over time especially in areas on story telling and creative writing. I've collaborated with other writers on various platforms also and I've gotten good reviews on some of my write ups so far. I therefore belive, to a considerably extent that i am good at writing.

There are lots of things i would want to become good at but if i could narrow it down to one based on how I'm feeling right now. Asides being much better at my trading, i would want to be better at art. Especially in the areas of drawing and painting.

Some part of me feels that its a better expression of oneself than writing and typing. Theres something about art that passes a message across instantly. One artwork can pass across the message contained in 1000 words to a viewer at a glance without excluding the emotions inherent. Art is life, life is art.

I currently have a friend who's very good artist and every time i watch him work, construct from scratch, bring to life from lines and paper a wondrous piece. I'm usually in awe.
Here's one he did yesterday(posted with his permission) within 18 hours start to finish. He claimed it was his fastest piece

Somehow, i feel its way past me now as it would be quite difficult for me to master it at this stage, but i know if i put in ample effort and devote enough time to it, it would eventually turn out fine.

Someone i admire for being good at something would be my artist friend Tolu as mentioned above. He creates unrealistically good pieces of artwork and the process of creation are usually very interesting to watch.

He does most of his artwork with just pens and manages to make it look really cool. Here are some of his pieces below.
