There are writer that can tell stories, but that can't write.
There are writers that can tell stories and that can write.

There are people that read for the story and don't care that much about the writing.
There are people that read for the writing and don't care much about the story.
There are people who want both a story and good writing.

I guess full felicity is achieved when writers and readers of the third kind encounter each other. But it is hard work.
