Writers

Writers are not considered part of the larger ecosystem. Creativity and art are afforded little value in today’s corporate culture. It’s a lie, of course — writers are everywhere. Our work is ever-present yet our role remains unconsidered. The written word is a powerful support structure, and it’s everywhere you look. Magazines, billboards, instruction manuals, marketing copy, and, oh, I dunno, the entire Internet. Nearly everything begins with the written word, and yet, despite this significant contribution, writers and other creatives exist as a marginalized group. Further, our support system is eroding.

Just so.

“We’re putting up with the federal government on so many fronts, and nearly every month they come out with another hare-brained scheme … to tell us that our life is going to be better if we just buckle under on some other kind of rule or regulation. And we usually just play along for a while. We ignore ’em for as long as we can. We try not to bring it to a head but if it comes to a head we found that it’s best to tell ’em to go to Hell and run the state you wanna run your state.

Unfortunately this time around they’ve really got a hare-brained scheme… almost all those hijackers on 9/11 would have qualified for a Real ID.”Gov. Brian Schweitzer of Montana 2008
