$50 prize. What does it mean to be a good writer? Does good writing even matter, or have Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, Snapchat, TikTok etc. turned us into mindless, unsophisticated zombies who no longer care for grammar, punctuation, vocabulary, or creativity?
$50 to the author of whichever post I find most insightful.

To feel it

It had never been about the words

Not the spelling

The grammar

Or the penmanship

It was always about the meaning.

The understanding

Grammar was made so we knew when to yell pause and list

So we knew what and how the words sounded

And we knew how and what to feel.

The tone of a great writing is what makes it great.

If you spell every word wrong and never have a period but somehow the reader still cries when there supposed to.

Still laughs at the joke

Still feels the nostalgia in your words

Then by all means a great writer has been found
