Bought a Samsung tablet S7 plus to avoid the double work of writing a post and then typing it on the keyboard. The initial experience has been good. I am liking the Way the pen responds to my writing.
I have not written a lot in the past few months. It is not that I was waiting for the tab. The reason is that I have been reading a lot. I have finished one book by Jeremy clarkson.

Beechi told that the precursor to become a good writer is to first become a good reader. He adviced the individual to read profusely, understand the nuances of how a reader feels & then start writing
It is akin to Engineering drawing, wherein, the person drawing is not the intended audience. The reader of the drawing might be thousands of kilometers away, but, the drawing is a universal language & it has the Same meaning everywhere.
