What is the difference between a good writer and a gifted writer?

A good writer could be trained, a gifted writer takes any training they’ve had and makes it interesting.
I think gifted writers would be more interesting conversationalists.

A good writer puts out work which is interesting, and well constructed.

A gifted writer takes their readers into their palm, and lavishly makes their world new.

^^Splendid answer.

Talented writing is energetic. Good writing avoids errors. Talented writing makes things happen in the reader’s mind — vividly, forcefully — that good writing, which stops with clarity and logic, doesn’t.May 20, 2013

Add to the above…Even a diary is interesting, depends on how much they can move the reader, emotionally, so that they understand the writers viewpoint on that story.
Sometimes its not the errors but the message that is more important.
Especially is dialect is to be conveyed…as it is spoken.( my Opinion).

^^Thank you! :)

The difference between craft and art.

It’s so subjective a determination as to be almost meaningless. I know it when I see it for me; the images dance off the page and into my life.

I would like to believe it would be reflected in their net worth as a matter of justice. But juggling the balls, good and gifted along with prolific and scarce—tough in matters of taste. You know it when you see it (or read it), the field is just teeming with overlooked or undervalued diamonds smothered by their oh so prolific opposites. “A” plus ms. Melt.

An extra zero on a pay check.
