There's a lot of truth in this like they said below, but I wrote and published a novel all myself in a month, and published it with kindle direct publishing for free. And have sold 46, and I wrote it in one month when I was 15.

I read one anecdote about a writer meeting someone new at a party.

"So, what do you do for a living?" the writer asked.

"I'm a brain surgeon," the man said. "How about you?"

"I'm a novelist."

"Really? Well, I've been thinking about retiring and writing a book," the brain surgeon said proudly.

"Huh. That's funny," the writer said. "I've been thinking about retiring and becoming a brain surgeon."

What's it about?

Reading is an important part of being a writer. Though, it's not so much about quantity as it is diversity. It's important to see what ideas are out there, the extent of what you can do with a story, learning what works and what doesn't work for you in terms of how you communicate. As you said, it's more important to have something to write about, but reading widely and often will provide a vaster amount of tools with which to craft your story.

That is how I was too. I've been writing my own stories since I was 9-years-old. I read books, I enjoy them, and I've wanted to get my books published. You can get your book self-published though.
