Do you have what it takes to be a writer? (humor)

I lifted the following quote about who should consider join the writing workshop group from the EveryDayFiction forum:

"Writing is a craft that can be mastered. Vision is what makes great writers. Well, throw in a bit of eccentricity, open mindedness, obsessive tendencies and an oblique perspective." - roswood

Now going through the checklist for myself...

1) Vision? Yah, I can see, though not perfectly.
2) A bit of eccentricity? Well, there is plenty in my bag.
3) Open mindedness? Hmmm... When I am not arguing with anybody, I am open minded.
4) Obsessive tendencies? checked
5) Oblique perspective? LOL, does upside-down count as oblique?

I did a search for oblique perspective and found this article. I don't think it's very good or detailed or informative, but oh well.

The Secret to Creativity: An Oblique Perspective

And I would say I have all those traits, lol.

I simply took oblique perspective as meaning the tendency to dissect an issue from a slightly different, alas fresh, angle.
