If a tree falls alone in the woods and no one writes it down, did it really happen?

My name is Maggie Shafer, and I’m a journalist living in Fort Collins, Colorado. I work as a copy editor and reporter for Northern Colorado Business Report, and a freelance writer for a few publications and websites.

I am a writer, a contributor, a storyteller, a record keeper; a lover of words and those who exchange them.

Because the tree may indeed have fallen, but if no one writes it down, did it ever stand at all?
