Writing is an important part of communication. Good communication skills are necessary to transfer ideas. Without good communication skills, you are limiting your potential to earn money.

I got the following points on writing from the URL below. Consider these points...

- People who cannot write and communicate clearly will not be hired, and if already working, are unlikely to last long enough to be considered for promotion.

- Eighty percent or more of the companies in the services and the finance, insurance and real estate sectors—the corporations with greatest employment growth potential—assess writing during hiring.

- Bob Kerrey, president of New School University in New York and chair of the National Commission on Writing, put it this way: “Writing is both a ‘marker’ of high-skill, high-wage, professional work and a ‘gatekeeper’ with clear equity implications. People unable to express themselves clearly in writing limit their opportunities for professional, salaried employment.” The ability to communicate was rated as the most important factor in making a manager “promotable” by subscribers to Harvard Business Review.

- Two-thirds of salaried employees in large American companies have some writing responsibility.

It's about communication. Exchange of ideas. You can't always take time to say the same thing over and over to a group of people - which may be 100s of miles apart. How would you do it? How could you have an idea and then remember it EXACTLY a month later? A year later? A decade later.

The answer is to write it down. When information is written, it serves as a starting point of learning. You may not like what you read (or what you wrote) but everyone will 'see' the same thing.

Because the ability to read and write is the only activity which humans do but no other species does.

If you don't want to express yourself in writing, then you probably don't have anything to say, either.

If you don't want to know what was important to people who lived 2,000 years ago, you probably don't know much that anyone alive today needs to know.

It's what makes your $3.00 worth of chemicals that makes up your body worth the $3.00. It makes you a person.

If you don't read, you're no better than one who can't, and you might as well be a bear.

"writting" is important so people can learn that it is writing!

the simple fact that you can't spell "writing" answers your question for you.
