What is Good Writing

In my opinion good writing is interesting. No matter the subject a good writer should be able to keep the attention of his reader. I also think that good writing is truthful and passionate. When I say that good writing is truthful I don't mean that good writing has to be non-fiction. I mean that the writer should be true to himself  it is hard for someone to write something good if they don't believe in what they are talking about. If a writer truly believes in what they are writing about it's easier for him to connect to his reader. Writers that are passionate about what they are writing end up with fans that are passionate about what they are reading. In contrast I believe that bad writing is boring and dry. If the author is unable to connect to his readers there is no point in writing. When I'm reading something and I think that it's bad it's because it doesn't evoke any emotions out of me. When reading bad writing it feels like I'm just reading a bunch of random words put together. As A truly great writer myself I'm going to be honest when I say that I don't really have any favorite writers because I only read when it's mandatory so I don't really care for the authors.
