Challenge
$50 prize. What does it mean to be a good writer? Does good writing even matter, or have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok etc. turned us into mindless, unsophisticated zombies who no longer care for grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, or creativity?
$50 to the author of whichever post I find most insightful.
Why The General Population Won’t Read Bradbury (And What Makes a Good Writer)
Being a good writer doesn’t mean having perfect grammar (or any at all, really, if you’re e.e. cummings)—it doesn’t mean being published, being recognized, being trained, being liked (because Lord knows we all lost trust in Ray Bradbury after “Fahrenheit 451” showed us our true nature); being a good writer simply means getting what’s inside of you, out. Because that is the hardest, but also the bravest, thing any person can do.
