Nobody ever stopped reading E. B. White or V. S. Pritchett because the writing was too good.
William ZinsserThere's not much to be said about the period except that most writers don't reach it soon enough.
William ZinsserThere's no subject you don't have permission to write about. Students often avoid subjects close to their heart ... because they assume that their teachers will regard those topics as 'stupid.' No area of life is stupid to someone who takes it seriously. If you follow your affections you will write well and will engage your readers.
