Why is reading important to writers?

Reading is important to writers because a writer can not write without reading in the first place. If one wants to write a book or even a smaller piece, they cannot do so without reading. Reading or learning to read and do so, is like a building block to writting.

When reading one learns the basics of words such as what they mean, when to use them while writing, and how to use them. After accomplishing the basics of reading, one is ready to write. But what can you write about? Well anything really. There are so many topics and forms of writing. Such as peoms, screen-plays, short stories, or novels.

Reading is not only the start of writing, but also the finishing touch. When one writes a piece he or she wants someone else to read it. That's the reason why people write, so others can enjoy, or not for some people if it's really bad, the other's work. That's why reading is so important, because in order to write, you must be able to read and people read what others write.
