Do toi 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 favori authors' works and meshing their écriture styles together to create my own. Not everyone works that way, though.

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

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

Yes. toi 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 toi 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 an and a half ou so that i actually began lire committedly i've read plus 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 obturateur island in the last 3 months. That may not sound big to a lot of toi but it was huge for me. Ordinarily something thick like Dracula would take me a mois but it took me just a few weeks.
lire does help at times and is great to help toi look at other écriture styles. and can give toi 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 ou even heard of a writer that doesn't read anyway.
