My writer's desk
Writing services are the growth industry of the 21st century. The Internet is organised by the written word. Films and video have expanded massively but film and video cannot be interpreted by computers, human beings are needed to explain their content which can only be done through the provision of writing services.
Writing services are therefore fundamental to the growth and development of the Internet which, in its turn, is arguably one of the most important industries today in our world. Since writing services must be provided by human beings, writing services is inevitably a hugely vital employment provider.
However, it is ironic that writing remains in the Stone Age in terms of efficiency when the system it services can handle the written word at the speed of light. Writing an article, short story or flash fiction takes a significant length of time because the process of thinking through creative projects is determined by the speed of our brains. Unfortunately, the speed of our brains has not been fundamentally enhanced since human beings first walked on planet Earth.
As an online writer, my income is very much geared to the volume and quality of my writings. The more I provide my writing services to the Internet community, the more money I am bound to make from the readers who are attracted to my site. But the quantity of articles and stories is quite simply limited to the number I can get out in one day which is currently about seven articles, at best, and, at worst, perhaps only two. If I could write ten times more articles and stories, I would earn ten times as much. Sadly, my brain would probably become superheated if I tried and the result would be gibberish - hardly a good writing service for my readers 
Speech recognition is perhaps a way forward but I have found all it does is speed up the process of typing. It introduces efficiencies into the writing process of first drafts without any doubt but editing and re-editing can be increased where the speech recognition software has got my meaning disasterously wrong.
Culturally, Westerners like myself are hugely challenged by people from the hitherto poorer countries, with their lower cost base, who have been rightly underbidding us and taking our job opportunities in many industries. Fortunately, for us, we Westerners have a strong advantage in the provision of writing services because of the subtleties required in the creative writing process.
So, whether you are thinking of becoming a writer and providing writing services or perhaps you are a small business that needs your hotel or other small business blog ghost written to attract more visitors to your web site, writing services is an industry that will remain important and probably grow massively over the next decade.
