Which quality is least desirable on the way to becoming a creative writer?

A.

inherent inhibitions

B.

strong vocabulary

C.

rich imagination

D.

observational powers

A. inherent inhibitions. This is the correct option.

If a person has inhibitions, these will probably prevent him / her from letting the imagination and fantasy fly. Imagination is a key factor for a writer. Besides, a shy person will not allow himself / herself to observe what other people do and will not be able to imagine why people behave in funny or mysterious ways.

The other options are desirable for a future writer:

-B. strong vocabulary. (A writer should have a good command of a wide range of words and expressions.)

C. rich imagination (This may be the source of inspiration).

D. observational powers (Writers tend to be good observers of other people's behaviour).
