I believe people who enjoy writing must enjoy reading while people who are always reading might not write as well.

I think that's interesting.
Do you think that most writers come up with the ideas by themselves?? In my opinion, the writers should have many stories. Not only from their own experiences, the stories from thier friends, or a variety of readings are also important to decide how they write. In this case, writers must have very multi personality. They're supposed to get along with different kinds of people, and they should be sensitive and creative.

I was just curious what the exactly resource of ideas and stories from? Did they read a lot before writing?? Personality? Creative? which one is more important? Someone wanna share with me?

I think it can be a number of things. A good writer is always evolving, always finding ways to improve themself. I think reading a lot of different books is a big factor in becoming a better writer, and it can also help give you inspiration for your own work. Creativity, imagination and life experiences all help generate ideas for stories. Sometimes I'm inspired by a song, sometimes I daydream on the way home from work and come up with some interesting plots. Sometimes I draw from my own experiences. It all depends on the writer and what motivates them.

well, ive been reading books that were above my level since i was very young. my parents always read to me as well. i was incouraged at my school to begin creative writing and journaling at a young age. so i really learned how to do it from the start. its very easy for me.


so yes, i think reading and having alot of experiences does greatly impact on writing ability.
