Do you hear people saying the written word is dead? In what world is that the case? I find myself reading and writing more than ever. Those I know are always sharing things with me to read which suggests they are consuming much written info too.

Reading material I peruse daily includes e-mail, blog posts, messages, newsletters, articles, resumes, linkedin, facebook and twitter updates, plus books and e-books.

A lot of technically proficient people are out there, many with advanced degrees and kick-butt experience. The ones I see having great success are those who can communicate what they know most effectively and writing well is a big part of that success.

It’s a skill to cultivate.
