Good Writing and Writing Well

These two quote have a very profound impact on me: "Good writing is good writing, no matter what form it's in" [and] "Writing well is reading well." These words are very insightful yet precise. I have always believed that good writing in itself does not have to have a specific format or style and does not have to be about a certain subject. Good writing could cover any topic and portray any theme. Good writing should never be judged by its’ form, rather it may be judged by its content. If the writing is intriguing, powerful and well developed, it certainly can be considered good or better than that. Sometimes it is better to write about something in a different type of form than the form it was written, depending on what the writer's goal is and how they want to express themselves. Writing is such a wonderful spectrum because there is always room for improvement and exploration. The second quote is certainly quite interesting; I believe that when you advance your reading, in addition you are advancing your writing skills, whether you realize it or not. When reading, you may pick up on certain words, ideas, philosophies, styles or phrases that may stick with you and therefore you can develop into your own unique style of writing. This second quote suggests that writing and reading go hand-in-hand in terms of understanding. What I mean is that if you can recognize noteworthy literature, you can also recognize great writing while taking more knowledge from both.
