Writing and learning and thinking are the same process.

Probably every subject is interesting if an avenue into it can be found that has humanity and that an ordinary person can follow.

But nothing has replaced the writer. He or she is still stuck with the same old job of saying something that other people will want to read.

Don't hedge your prose with little timidities. Good writing is lean and confident. . . . Every little qualifier whittles away some fraction of the reader's trust. Readers want a writer who believes in himself and in what he is saying. Don't diminish that belief. Don't be kind of bold. Be bold.

Clear thinking becomes clear writing; one can't exist without the other.

Don’t say you were a bit confused and sort of tired and a little depressed and somewhat annoyed. Be tired. Be confused. Be depressed. Be annoyed. Don’t hedge your prose with little timidities. Good writing is lean and confident.

A writer will do anything to avoid the act of writing.
