For you writers, of any and all kinds

On Writing Well:

"Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you fine that writing is hard, it's because it is hard." -- William Zinsser

Glad you liked it. You should read that book. On Writing Well by William Zinsser. Probably the most useful book I've ever read in my whole life. You really only need to read the first half. There was just too much gold, I didn't know what to quote.
