Writing a lot is important, but being able to get feedback on your writing can prevent you from developing bad habits you may not be aware of. When I was in college for English, getting regular feedback from professors and the writing center helped me learn things I wouldn't have figured out on my own. But of course, context matters: that was great for improving my general writing skills and my academic writing, but if you're doing creative writing, technical writing, etc., ideally you want feedback from people that are experts in the kind you're interested in.
