What's all this talk about change? Writing is writing, right?
Sure it is. Just pick up your quill,
No, sharpen that pencil and . .
I mean, pull out the old Olivetti - er . . .
Save the manuscript in WordStar, um . . .
and mail me,
or fax me,
I'd really rather have it in .doc or .pdf form though -
that way I can read it on my PDA on the plane.
Yeah. Writing is always the same, but the tools and rules have definitely changed.

I, Catalyst
Striking literary change can be a bear. However real change in any field is difficult for most organizations and/or individuals. Just think of the last time you tried to trim a few pounds, get used to a new job or boss, or learn a new software program. Life is just sooooo much easier when we do things the way it's always been done.
The way everyone else does it.
Without making waves.
Without discovery.
Without spark.
No life.
Boring.
I for one intend to embrace change and even act as a catalyst for others (misery just loves company). We are blessed to live in an unprecedented communicative age. Technology is expanding exponentially and everything we say or do is on a continuously sharpening edge.
Nothing is as it seems and frankly, everything you 'think' you know may be wrong.
So what.
We adapt.
We've got it like that.
