Vein/streak
1. Does any of these sentences make sense:
a) "You definitely have the vein of a writer."
b) "You definitely have the streak of a writer."
2. If not, is there any standard expression to convey this idea (or that someone has the talent to be a writer or even an artist)?
Top answer
"You definitely have the vein of a writer" is the better one than "You definitely have the streak of a writer". The reason is, vein of the writer literally means, writers have a particular kind of vein and you too have that. The streak of the writer literally means, clearing the test that makes you a writer.
