To become a better writer, prioritize writing over reading; the act of writing is what facilitates improvement. Many aspiring writers mistakenly believe that reading alone advances their skills, often using it as a procrastination method instead of engaging in the challenging act of writing. While reading is valuable, it should only serve as a supplement to the creative process, not a substitute. Just like in fitness, the foundation lies in consistent practice and effort, where supplements support but do not replace core activities. Ultimately, the focus should be on creating output, as the only measure of growth in writing is effectiveness, not the dichotomy of good or bad writing.
