6 Zodiac Signs Who Make Great Writers
They have a gift.
getty I always get a laugh when people call writers like Stephen King or Dan Brown "hacks." As if being a hack is this terrible thing. What's a hack writer? It's someone who hacks out word after word, at a rapid pace, with the intent of creating a finished piece of writing, whether fictional or non-fictional. In other words, whoever the hack is, this is someone who has the talent to be able to write endlessly.
Being a hack is not about writing crap; it's about writing a LOT. As we all know, it's hard to write and even harder to make a living as a writer. So, the lucky hacks that make it in the field have some kind of handicap on their side. Could it be due to astrology? It might very well be. Because depending on how the stars align, the zodiac signs who make the best writers have an amazing talent.
Ironically, in this world of tech and progress, we still need writers. We still need real humans to tell our stories because computers just can't compensate for real human experience, and they certainly can't write from experience, can they?
So, we need our writers. We need our vestige humans to tell the tale of what it's like to be human, because we humans crave tales of other humans.
1. AQUARIUS (January 20 - February 18)
With Virginia Woolfe and Charles Dickens to start the line up of awesome Aquarian talent, you stand tall in your own form. You are highly imaginative; the kind of imaginative that can't sit still and must be written down.
You are the person who always has a pad and pen on hand, and you never stop taking notes. Fantasy floats your boat, but you've been known to dabble in research and medical writing.
2. TAURUS (April 20 - May 20)
You've been jotting down your thoughts since you were a small child; you've always loved poetry, fiction, and you've even dreamed of doing it professionally. Good thing for you because you happen to be very good at it.
You take your life's experience and translate it into words effortlessly. You're a natural storyteller and you are always able to wow people with your written expression. Hey, with William Shakespeare as one of your own, you come well represented!
3. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 - December 21)
You are the top of the line when it comes to freedom of expression, and you repress yourself for no one. Your story will be told, and it will be told truthfully and with finesse.
Whether it's fiction or autobiography, you're the best at what you do, and you may even find yourself doing the illustrations as well. You're an unstoppable talent in the literary arts and your body of work shows it. Mentionable others: Nostradamus and Mark Twain.
4. LIBRA (September 23 - October 22)
As a quiet person, you don't show the world what's on your mind. However, your silent demeanor isn't all there is to you; you cannot be repressed and your writing ability shows it.
Whether it's well-put armchair activism or fantasy writing and comic book text, you excel. Bookwriting is a common ability with Libra, and you'll find Librans all over the online publication world. You share shelf space with Oscar Wilde and F. Scott Fitzgerald. Amazing!
5. PISCES (February 19 - March 10)
If there's anyone who is cut out to be a writer, it's you, Pisces. With Jack Kerouac and Dr. Seuss on your side, you've got quite an imaginative back-up source for your writings.
You are empathetic and curious, and your naturally compassionate ways make for some beautiful purple prose. You enjoy telling the truth, and your way with words excels no matter what you are writing, be it fantasy, poetry or journalism.
6. CANCER (June 21 - July 22)
You're the one who engages us in your tall tales when you are young, and later on in life you engage us in your published works and masterpieces. There is no lack of talent in this department, nor is there ambition.
You are one to write travelogues and non-fictional works. You are in the league of Anthony Bourdain and Ernest Hemingway. Not too shabby!
