If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all

Summary

This quote emphasizes the two essential activities for aspiring writers - reading and writing. To become a skilled writer, it is crucial to first immerse oneself in the works of others, exposing oneself to various writing styles, genres, and ideas. By reading extensively, writers can broaden their knowledge, vocabulary, and understanding of storytelling techniques. The second aspect is writing regularly, as practice is needed to refine one's writing abilities. Writing consistently helps develop writing skills, creativity, and the ability to express thoughts coherently. Ultimately, this quote underscores the importance of both consuming and producing literature for those aspiring to be writers.
