You could be a music prodigy at age 4, like Mozart, but you can't be a writing prodigy.
I was called a dance prodigy since I was young. A prodigy is like a genius. But I'm not a genius. It's just that what I do a little bit better than others, and that happens to be dancing.
I have never considered myself a prodigy. Others have used that term, but I never bought in to it.
