What Makes a Good Writer and a Good Reader

To be a good writer it benefits from being a good reader, and vise versa. To be a good writer you create material that is both interesting and intriguing or an informative piece to present to readers. Additionally, as a good writer your work reflects your own thoughts and opinions through a personalized style of writing that is engaging to others. Good writing consists of correct grammar, sentence structure, and vocabulary. Writers must be astute and careful with their writing, just as good readers must be as well. Good readers are constantly looking for deliberately placed details while being perceptive of the building plot.  At the same time, good readers can be actively reading, such as underlining and marking up writing. They are attentive to details, benefit from taking a general interest in the writing material, and learn or gain something with every piece completed. The more reading someone completes expands his or her writing techniques, while the more writing done amplifies understanding and competence in reading.
