So, You Want to Be a Writer?
For all you aspiring writers out there, I have a
tip. Are you ready?
Here it is: Put down your pen or pencil.
Close your laptop.
And RUN.
To quote Dorothy Parker: If you have any young friends who aspire to become writers,
the second greatest favor you can do them is to present them with copies of The
Elements of Style. The first greatest, of course, is to shoot them now, while
they’re happy.
