"Journal"
#5. "Practice is the key to a writer's development. The more a writer writes, the more he or she will improve." This statement is bascially saying that practice makes perfect and I one hundred percent agree with that. The more a writer writes and learns the techniques and rules of writing the better writer he or she will become. By learning the different techniques and rules the better the writing will flow and makes since to the reader.

#2. "The best way to develop as a writer is to imitate the writing of the people you want to write like." Wrong. Everyone has their own writing styles. As people begin to write they create who they are as a writer. If everyone imitated someone in their writings then everything would begin to be the same because people would start to write the same. Everyone wants varitey. By becoming your own writer it makes everything interesting and different.
