Do آپ think that writers should be avid readers?

Not neccessarily, I think it depends on the person.

That's how I became a writer:
Studying my پسندیدہ authors' works and meshing their writing styles together to create my own. Not everyone works that way, though.

They don't HAVE to be. If reading helps آپ come up with techniques یا ideas, then sure. But some get techniques and ideas from their own mind.

It's a good idea, but آپ don't have to be. I am :})

Yes. آپ constantly gain ideas.

It depends on the person. But I think it helps learn new words and better grammer. It also inspires ideas if your careful not to steal. But no, they don't have to be.

I think it helps. I personally am an avid reader and I think it helps with my writing. But I don't think in order to be a writer آپ must be a reader.

In general it depends on the person but sometimes they are interchangeable. personally i was a bigger writer than reader for a long time in a matter fact it wasn't till the last سال and a half یا so that i actually began reading committedly i've read مزید than ever believed possible for me i read Dracula, the invisible man, the legend of sleepy hollow, A series of unfortunate events the austere academy and شٹر island in the last 3 months. That may not sound big to a lot of آپ but it was huge for me. Ordinarily something thick like Dracula would take me a ماہ but it took me just a few weeks.
Reading does help at times and is great to help آپ look at other writing styles. and can give آپ inspiration as well i got an idea from the invisible man that i thought was a good idea

Yes, I think it's necessary. I haven't met یا even heard of a writer that doesn't read anyway.
