What makes a good writer?

I think a good writer is someone who can get their point across without going on and on. You want to get to the point so you don't bore the reader, because I know when i read writer's work, if it is too wordy, i get lost and have no interest in it anymore. A good writer also has a good strong vocabulary and doesn't use the same words over and over again.

I think these are things I need to work on in my writing. I need to learn bigger vocabulary and different ways to get my point across more effectively
