Writing is about language.

A good writer has an ability to use his words and sentences in such a way to translate his ideas, emotions or whatever else - by means of language - into readers.

Make readers feel what you want them to feel, make them think what you want them to think, experience what you what them to experience.


Good stories with weak, implausible or even nonexistent characters are possible but extremely rare since we need characters to relate to.

A good plot is necessary but just a good plot is like a complicated construction or a skeleton – if there is no meat on it - it turns into empty exercise.

And I agree – a good PEN doth a good writer make.
