      The more you read about writing, I believe the more your writing will improve. However, just as watching

someone perform a sport will provide visual and mechanical cues to help  improve your own performance, your writing will only improve if you practice what you read about.Write, and then write some more to see improvement.

" A journal entry is for its writer; it helps its writer refine, perceive, and process the world. But a story - a finished piece of writing- is for its reader; it should help its reader refine, perceive and process the world - the one particular world of the story, which is an invention, a dream. A writer manufactures a dream. And each draft should produce a version of that dream that is more precisely worded and more consistently sustained than the last." Anthony Doerr. Four Seasons in Rome.
