Really, once you know the basics to good grammar, spelling, and style (though the latter takes a continual effort), is there much of an art left? I may have contradicted my first question by mentioning style, but I do not think there is too much of an effort needed beyond focus to tell a good story. If there is any art at all, I would say it comes in the preparation of the story and its characters, in the shaping of the details and nuances. That way, by understanding the story beforehand, the telling of the story does not become as awkward or weak from lack of focus. Writing is more a craft than an art. It's all a matter of writing the truth of a character or situation with clarity.
Anyone, please, feel free to refute any and all of this. Just remember to write well.:)
