M-C,
What does it take to be a composer?
Basically just being willing to document your original musical ideas. If you want to be a good composer, then you should learn some theory so that your ideas are documented in a way that other people can make your ideas "audible".
It is sometimes helpful to have studied other peoples music to know if you really have something original or not. There are some "composers" of note out there that borrow or steal musical ideas for film soundtracks..................
