What is Good Writing?

Good writing is something that is compelling. As soon as you read the first line you are sucked in and captivated by the passion in the ink and the story on the pages. Good writing is not only about grammar but it is about the fluidity of the author. How smooth does the book or page flow. To be a good writer one must write everyday, to build up their consistency through out the pages.
