Writing is one of those essential skills that, if nurtured, can become an enjoyable and beneficial tool, one that can have a personal and professional effect for a lifetime.

Different people seem to have different opinions about writing. Some moan and groan at the thought of it, preferring, perhaps, to walk on nails or visit the dentist. Others are naturally drawn to writing, feeling somehow compelled to put pen to paper and use the act of writing to organize their thoughts and think more clearly.
