- Alex3917 19y agoGood writing creates value for the reader. This can be done not only by presenting an original insight, but by adding value to an existing insight. This can be done by - Putting an idea into context - Providing relevant facts and statistics - Pointing out the implications of an idea - Drawing new conclusions from an old idea. etc. Even though the insight might not be 100% original, the author still managed to "say something worth saying about something worth saying something about." At least for me. It was also exceptionally well-written.
