If you are trying to decide between a few people to fill a position, always hire the better writer. It doesn’t matter if that person is a designer, programmer, marketer, salesperson, or whatever, the writing skills will pay off. Effective, concise writing and editing leads to effective, concise code, design, emails, instant messages, and more.
That’s because being a good writer is about more than words. Good writers know how to communicate. They make things easy to understand. They can put themselves in someone else’s shoes. They know what to omit. They think clearly. And those are the qualities you need.
C’est assez vertigineux de se considérer comme étant un auteur. Je ne crois pas avoir ce sentiment. Je publie à voix haute des embryons d’idées tout au plus. Mais peut-être que c’est déjà beaucoup. En tout cas, si je n’étais plus en capacité de le faire, je me sentirais probablement frustré au point de vouloir le faire via un autre support.
C’est peut-être cela « être auteur » finalement ?
