It absolutely amazes me how students and professionals alike complain about having to write in school or at work. They claim it is too much work. They bemoan having nothing to say. They feel they cannot come up with topics or meet the deadlines. They gripe about writing being too disciplined a task for them. And ironically, they often do so among their hundreds of daily tweets and Facebook status updates, reminding me of the zinger, “I’m speechless, and I’d like to take the next 30 minutes explaining why.”
