Rewriting is the essence of writing well - where the game is won or lost.

People read with their ears, whether they know it or not.

Keep your paragraphs short. Writing is visual - it catches the eye before it has a chance to catch the brain.

Every time you look at a blank piece of paper, you're doing something new. You have to step onto that blank territory and remind yourself the sky didn't fall in the last time you wrote. Writing is a question of overcoming your fears-and everybody has them.

Never forget that you are practicing a craft with certain principles.

The writer who cares about usage must always know the quick from the dead.

Motivation clears the head faster than a nasal spray.
