Let's be honest, literacy, language and math(s) skills are at an all time low in the US and UK, we should be ashamed. We used to lead the world with our standard of education, our written world was the Gold Standard, English was spoken best by those native to it. Not anymore it isn't. I have met people from other countries who can speak better English than a large majority of the actual English can! What can we do? Well let me spell it out to you; Mogwai...
Make
Great
Writing
Again
Important
Ok, so that is actually MGWAI but I can make it Mogwai if i want can't I? Maybe I'm dyslexic and I just didn't release it yet? And yes, Donald, I may have adapted your tagline slightly but I see that as rather fitting actually!
So, Mogwai, not just sweet fuyrry thing you cqan't get wet or expose to sunlight, but important. What can we do?
We can find resources that new, especially young writers can take advantage of.
We can create a safe and interesting environment for them to learn about and practise writing.
We can kickstart enthusiasm for writing and make people want to write and have a reason to.
I'm looking for ideas, for thoughts, for direction and i know you can help me, all of you. When you crowdsource you're a lot stronger!
