Fountain Pen on Parchment Zen and the Art of Pen on Paper

Everywhere you look and everything you read is all about how critical good writing skills are in this age of digital communication. In business, the memo is passe, replaced by email, now the mainstay of communication. Instant messaging is used in some environments, but it is being replaced by text messaging. Websites, blogs, forums — all demand good writing skills. Then there are reports, PowerPoint presentations, proposals, and letters — more traditional formats, but writing intensive as well.

Regardless of whether you own a small business or are an employee in a large corporation, you need to be able to write and to write well.
