Hm. What is the difference, though? That talent comes more easily? But there are a lot of other factors that can make an activity come more or less easily. You give so much of yourself, of your spirit, to your art that I have trouble believing that it's just a matter of steady application for you. Obviously, you have steady application, or you wouldn't be this polished. But it seems to me that you have the "spark", too.

not having the talent means you have to continually work at it, knwoing that others will surpass you easily simply because it's their gift.
It's the reason I stopped writing.
