Most people’s definitions of “good” vary. What one person loves another hates. So stop obsessing over whether or not you’re a good writer. It doesn’t matter. What matters is that you’re effective.
Look. We all know there are some bad writers out there, so if there is such a thing as a good writer, you want to be one. But in my mind, “good” is synonymous with “effective.” So let’s begin there.

We all have different ideas on what makes a "good" writer.
I think I'll put it this way, good and effective go hand in hand. It's a package.
A writer would like to be good as well as an effective one.
