It seems that in this day and age of fleeting electrons and words written at the speed of light everyone is a writer of sorts. From scribbles on McDonald’s napkins to short text messages, unceremonious writing is part and parcel of modern human nature.

Published or not, paperback or napkin, fiction or non-fiction, good writing needs no ceremony as long as it rings true.

Be it a blog, one of Grisham’s tomes, a treatise on the Fertile Crescent region or even the ubiquitous smiley :) writing has and will remain our purest, most visceral form of expression.

On that note, hello, world :)
