Need help on writing style.

My English is not good. However, I can find, learn and practice grammer and functuation rules online. What I want to ask is more about vocabulary and writing style. So here are the questions:

  1. What should be the balance of reading and writing, 50/50? Sometimes it feels like I'm all the time reading and doing no writing practice at all.

  2. Should I read more fiction/novel/poetry or NYTimes/Economist/WSJ to build my writing style? Generally which styles are applicable in business writing.

  3. Which writers should I read? Short, direct writer like Hemingway or one with complex writing style like James Joyce?

Thank you in advance.

 

Thank you. First, reading business or economic news all the time seems bit boring to me given that I have limited time to stick to both. Second, as being bad at word choice and dictating, these above sources mostly imported words or idoims from old masters, I guessed. That being said, I'm afraid of writing not knowing the original meaning or nuance of the words. Is it true or I can freely use business wordings without knowing the original use?
