He likes to write novels but doesn't read them.

Thank you for asking this question. As a fan of online literature, I can tell you some knowledge about novel writing. Writing novels required creativity, imagination, and patience. A good novel needed a fascinating plot, unique characters, and a profound theme. You will need to spend time designing the storyline, shaping the characters, and thinking about their motives and fates. At the same time, you also need to master some writing skills such as rhythm, dialogue, and scene description. Although you like to write novels, it doesn't mean that you need to read novels to improve your writing skills. Writing is an independent skill that you can improve by reading other novels, practicing writing, and reflecting. I hope this information can help you write better novels. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask me.
