syntactic analysis - Can a gerund be modified by an adjective?

Is the sentence below grammatically correct?




Good writing requires hard work.




Or should it read:





Writing well requires hard work.




Can a gerund be modified by an adjective or must it be modified necessarily by an adverb?



If it can be modified by an adjective, when you diagram it, would the good come off of the word writing on the stilt, or would it go below the regular baseline?
