A writer is hidden in me?

Today I received one compliment, which I have never thought relevant to me. The verbal instructor in my GRE course told another student to take my GRE essays as a model of good writing. I have never in my life been praised for the things I write, especially essays. During high-school my best ever achievement was scoring 85 in one essay, and the teacher asked me if my girl friend at that time helped me. It is a long gone dream to become a writer in a journal (and I don't mean a scientific one) or an author of books. I just never thought I had it in me. Well, do I? Probably not, as GRE essays are far more technical than artistic. Nonetheless, this is a really nice compliment. GRE is salubrious, and if you don't know what that word means, you are not ready for your GRE.
