I thought at one point that Paul Graham and David Perell were “good” writers, then I started reading and writing voraciously. Now that I’ve read many great writers in all sorts of topics such as philosophy, business, finance, self-help, history, and many more, I cannot really appreciate these internet writers as much as I used to. In fact, I can’t really read them much without feeling they are too pretentious. But I do appreciate them helping me grow to appreciate the art form.
Maybe the author will also go down a similar path and read great books from great authors.
“If you want to be a writer, you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot. There's no way around these two things that I'm aware of, no shortcut.”
― Stephen King, On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft
