- You need clarity and good english. A decent source of this is BBC radio 4.

- Humour which is just a case of reading/watching a lot of funnies and generally understanding humour.

- Self-deprecation, grow thick skin and loosen up. ;)

- But most importantly you need some STRONG opinions.

Creative inspiration is required to write the best stuff and strong opinions will mean you are more inspired to write about particular topics. Find those topics, use all of the above skills and then suck for about 5 years until you get good at it! :)
