I agree with you dear Nadira reading is very important to increase our vocabulary and to be familiar with the structure of the different types of sentences. Reading regularly helped me a lot in understanding what the writer's want to say even if I don't know the exact meaning of new words I can figure out the meaning from the context.

I like to read novels :)

10 years ago I started to read 4-5 books a month. 3 years ago I made an attempt to write 1 story. Words came to me like running water. I finally completed my short story in 3 pages.

But I stopped reading last 2 years when I found a new hobby. Now it's hard to write even a page. I should have really registered in my mind how reading and writing are co-related. I should start reading again.
