If one is seriously interested in developing good writing skills, one should not follow unethical practices (in true spirit). As suggested in many posts here, one can spot the topics of interset from various forums, yahoo answers etc. Some time back I had opportunity to listen one of the topmost script writer and lyricist of India in a seminar about creative writing. In which he suggested to aspiring future celebrity writers to read as much good stuff as possible. Even, one should not limit oneself to one domain or subject so far reading is concerned. Once your mind absorbs a lot of good stuff covering a wide horizon, then your mind will process all these unconciously and some good thing will come out which people will really love to read. If you feel like, you may try it. Certainly, it is time consuming process. But then, Rome was not built in a day !
