Ever since I wrote the post on, I have received quite a few e-mails asking me to write one on qualities of a good writer. That is, a writer in general, not of any specific genre. So, here it is. True, anyone can write, but that doesn’t make him/her a writer, leave alone a good writer. In order to be called a good writer, certain qualities are required.  To me, the qualities most essential in good writer are: 1.  Love of writing. This is the most important factor. Unless there is the love and passion for writing, one can never produce a good piece. The more intense the passion, the better the writing is. 2. Love of words. This is not the same as the love of writing. Love of words means having a good vocabulary and understanding not only their meanings, but also the correct usage of words and their connotations. It is this love of words that makes a writer select the right words, and it is this choice of words that make the impact on the readers
