Writing clarifies our thoughts, focuses us, and leads us to new ideas.
Why don’t we write for ourselves more?
Writing shouldn’t be an occasional high-stakes writing project, cover letter, professional email, or summary. Write for yourself before you write for others.

Everyday Writing Prompts
Our digital age has not been kind to writing skills; we don’t write as much as people did 20, 50, or 100 years ago. Think about the writing that went into pre-telephone era letters, daily notes, and messages.
