(Short Conversation) Active Reader, Passive Writer

A: Which one do you think is more important... reading or writing?

B: Reading. Writing is optional. I mean, we don't have to be writer if we don't want to. But we --as ordinary people-- should read to broaden our knowledge. Good and smart people will bring benefits to society and the country. 

A: What if some people get interested in writing after they become good readers?

B: It's OK. Many quotes say that good writers are actually good readers. 

A: Do you consider yourself as good reader or good writer?

B: Haha... I don't know, bro. I just think that I read more and write less recently. 

A: Wow. Does it mean you're an active reader, but a passive writer?

B: Could be. I just don't want to force myself to write if I don't have any good idea for that. Being a productive writer is certainly good, but make sure your works are really good and bring positive impact to the readers... not just want to be claimed as "active writer". 

A: What is a good writing in your opinion, then? Should it be a long and deep-researched writing? 

B: No. Simple and short writing can be a good one too. The most important is the essence or idea of the writing... not the long or short form of it. In addition, a good writing doesn't have to be "serious" either. A humorous yet smart writing is nice too. I just hope my blogs are written that way... haha.
