  This article studied writers and how well they wrote when the topic was related to their writing. It analyzed the differences between writing style and also talents. Today's view of writing quality has changed tremendously from academic knowledge to sentence structure and choices of wording. It pointed out two recognized styles of writing such as gifts and talents. Gifts represent the potential for outstanding achievement, while talents are the manifestation of this potential. (1) The students who were analyzed were asked to reflect on their writing history from primary to college levels. The questions included things such as: What assignments were intrapersonal, academic, or historical? What motivated them to write? How teachers and parents affected or influenced their writing styles? Some of the reflections included how students were able to adapt to the writing patterns and structures that schools implemented. Using the five paragraph structure with introduction, body, and conclusion they were able to complete the assignments. Music when used was also an effective tool in helping writers to create and organized papers. This mixed with papers that included their personal knowledge or experience helped them to become more creative and detailed in their paragraphs. Heightened levels of intrinsic motivation have been found to characterise exceptional achievers irrespective of the domain of endeavour. It would seem that the greatest gift adults can give to a gifted young person is an environment that recognises this inner desire "to be". While it is important that talent of this kind is supported by way of modeling, encouragement and guidance, it is apparent from the findings of this study that freedom and space are more critical to gifts being realised as talents.
