“Writing requires quiet and reflection, and that’s something that quite scares most people anymore. They’ll do almost anything to avoid being alone with their own thoughts. | It also takes a familiarity, a facility, with the written language which many people lack because they’ve never learned to read very well, if at all…. I’ve had people protest that ‘it’s just wrong’ to say that some words are more important than others.” Craig Russell
