Writers Writing for Writers

#BrewingKnowledge

I was talking to one of the staff members at EBD today — a shelf-mate, and we noticed something quietly interesting. Almost everyone who walked in and struck up a conversation with us was writing something. A novel in progress, a poetry collection saved in a notes app, a blog on Substack or thoughts spilling into Instagram captions.

Everyone had a story they wanted to write.

Nowadays, we see more writers than readers, especially online. Words are everywhere, constantly being produced, shared, and posted. Yet rarely does someone walk in and say, "I'm a reader."

Somewhere along the way, being read began to feel better than reading. Validation became easier than attention. Writing offers visibility & reading asks for patience. And in a world chasing instant responses, sitting with someone else's words feels almost like a lost habit.

This creates a quiet contrast between writers and readers, a widening space where stories are written endlessly, but not always received with the same depth. A world full of voices, yet fewer listeners.
