What's good writing?

 I sometimes ponder what good writing is. I want to believe that my writing skill will improve in proportion as I write more. However, I feel as if the more I write, the poorer I am at writing. 

 To be sure, that the yardstick of good writing varies from person to person goes without saying. But nevertheless, to some extent, your opinion might be apt to be similar to mine. "Good writing will touch the heartstrings." "Good writing is beautiful." and the like.
 But the trouble is that every person finds beauty in something totally different from each other.  

 What is being beautiful? 
 What is beauty in composing sentences? 

 Generally speaking, it is better to be concise and to the point. But there are a lot of long stories that are called masterpieces. 

 When it comes to thinking about what good writing is, we are inevitably forced to think about what beauty is. It will be difficult to arrive at the same conclusion as you have. But at the same time, I believe that one day we will reach almost the same destination even though we cannot clearly explain what beauty is.
