In the real world,

• our actions have tangible consequences, and
• our lack of action has tangible consequences.

Writing is an action, and

• ones writing should create a consequence (desired by the writer).

When ones writing does not create a consequence (desired by the writer), then that person is either:

• not writing for the real world, or
• not writing effectively.

• Ineffective writing cannot successfully engage (and overcome) a Challenge in the real world.
