If this question means did reading a lot books eventually got me to write stories, then yes. I read a lot, had some ideas of stories that wanted writing, so I began to write. Decades ago. In a prior millennium.
If this question means do I read a lot and it eventually gets me to write my various stories, then no. In the beginning, I did read then write. Now a days, with a better appreciation of stories in other media, it could be enjoying stories in movies, episodic TV, anime, k-dramas, or in fan fiction that could set me off on an eccentric unique idea. Sadly, I don't get the chance to read many books (though I hope to fix that soon), so it's rarely books.
