The 21st Century Writer(Remix)

21st Century writers need to write well, sell and exploit the media matrix..

The next set of skills writers can use are: coding, (public) speaking and design.

Coding. Learning to code  is critical to understanding the layout and future formation of our society. Coding is a craft that will serve as the foundation upon which many digital society will be built. Digital work is affecting how we buy, communicate, connect, sell, and even govern. Any writer who wants to listen to the heartbeat of our global society will invest the time to code now. They will be prepared to comment or critique our infrastructure providing real time, credible insight into how society changed or needs to change. 

(Public) Speaking. Know how to articulate your ideas in writing and speaking are two different skills. Writers should know how to articulate their ideas, their product benefits, convey compassion by speaking. Public speaking provides a space for  genuine connection, and for writers to present their ideas in a different way then typically experienced by their tribe.  These opportunities to connect with their audience via webinars, conferences, digital talks, and podcasts are avenues for more connecting and selling. 

Design. Design is a integral part of the future of technology and messaging. For years, copywriters worked with bright images, flashing signs, and other symbols of media to convey a message. This relationships will continue in the 21st century as the mediums change and become more interactive but the need for messages that connect increase. Writing and design will share even more intimate relationship online as pictures, moving art aka video are integrated. Learning how to structure space, images and color with words will enable writers to reach audiences at all sensory levels. And empower them to control how the message is created and even perceived
