Reading and Writing are a link between language and knowledge.. if you want to write you should have a very good domination of language and for that you have to increase your vocabulary.. and the secret for increase that is Reading..

 

It is like a circle, more than you read, more than you learn vocabulary and language and more you can writte more.

 

So i think the good writers first they read a lot to know their own style of writing.

 

Thank you for the invitation to answer.

Of course he have to read more and more .. Writing will be a normal result of what he reads in this case .

Of course, for how could you write good and fresh materials if you haven't much knowledge of a certain issue that you are writing about!!!  Writing, just for the sake of it without having any concrete "basis" is nonsense and redundant - that is, if want to write for others. But if you intend to just write without bothering to read - go ahead and write a diary - just for yourself to read.  Otherwise, if you present such material to a larger audience, I'm sure you'll have nothing but a boring stuff.
