I love the power that good writing has to forge connections between people. The process of reading and writing stories helps us empathize with people who are different than us. Now more than ever, I don't think we should be overlooking that.

As trite as it may sound, writing opens doors. I truly believe that being able to write well is one of the most valuable skills a person can cultivate. Cooking is a close second.
