Digital and other non-writing skills helpful to the modern writer

We don’t need much to start a story. At the minimum, a blank surface and a writing instrument. 

Now, we have more options to bring stories to life, but it’s certainly not the first time writers encountered the new and shiny. We once leapt from handwriting to using a manual – then electric – typewriter. Looking back, that doesn’t seem as drastic a change when you consider the speed at which the ways we create and consume content have evolved in just a decade.
