Writing is one of the most important skills and experiences anyone can have. The world would not be the same without literature, and the ability to read and write cannot be understated. In fact, writing shapes so many aspects and facets of daily life. Here are five amazing points to ponder about writing and all it has to offer!
Writer’s Problems
While writing is such a rewarding and enriching habit, pastime or career, it can present it’s challenges. Two of those come in the form of fancy long words, as ‘mogigraphia’ means ‘writer’s cramp’ and ‘colygraphia’ is another way to say ‘writer’s block’. Most writers would hope they never have to suffer through these roadblocks on the way to writing the perfect piece.
English Writers
There’s no denying the influence and impact English literature has had on the world. Some of history’s best and most beloved writers have hailed from the United Kingdom, and the writing profession has long been cherished and celebrated in the country. In fact, the 1891 UK Census found that 6,000 respondents identified as writers, journalists or editors, and by 1901, the figure had increased to 11,000. Now these numbers are higher than ever before!
Scrabblement
Have you ever heard of such a word? The term ‘scrabblement’ dates back to the 17th century, and it’s a rare way to describe writing of a rambling character, similar to a madman. True literary lovers such as Joanna Hootnick and many others are big fans of fun and fascinating literature lingo such as ‘Scrabblement.’
Terrific Typers
There are writers out there who are so driven to get their work on the press. Those who are maniacs about writing and being published are describe as ‘typomaniacs.’ This typomania can be encouraging in one way and detrimental in others if people can’t learn to control their obsession with writing and crafting beautiful literature.
Changing Times
It’s no secret that over the course of history, the way people read and wrote has changed. What was once a very long and time-consuming process has become easier than ever, as people can now write and type to their heart’s content in the comfort of their own homes or even their beds! Technology has played a pretty significant role in this, as it was only 50 years ago that the first novel was ‘written’ on a word processor. That novel was Len Deighton’s Bomber, published in 1968. Joanna Hootnick and her fellow writers have access to exceptional technology and tools that make the writing process a bit easier.
