(1A1) Writing Depends Upon Your Ability To Read
(1A) Writers are made through writing and reading, but the success of our writing depends greatly upon the ability to read: with utmost care, with precision, and with open mindedness (Faery (2005)). Writing Is A Discipline and Reading Is A Discipline also; the two processes are forever interlinked.
