Learning to write can help develop what is there. Some people have (much) more capacity than others. Taking time to develop that strength can be worthwhile, especially if one has the capacity. Talent can be similar to intelligence in many ways, in that a person may do well with their natural capacity, but if no steps are taken to explore the limits of their talent or intelligence, a given person may find that others of lower natural capacity have surpassed them.
