on
Copyblogger (1) permalink
There are hundreds, perhaps thousands, of writing guides out there. But in my opinion, none surpass the simple, direct advice of The Elements of Style by William Strunk, Jr. and E.B.White. This classic serves up much good advice, especially in the last 20 pages in a section titled “An Approach to Style.” Nowhere have I seen more helpful advice in so few words and with such precision. This is why I always keep this book ...Shared by adam (63) Amit Chowdhry (38) AmyVernon (88) April (3) Brandon J.

- Franklin Pettit said: I should not share this. This and posts like it are what is wrong with the blogosphere. Do not read this drivel. Write what you want. Do NOT do NOT do NOT write for anyone but yourself. Write because it makes you happy. This copyblogger rules crap is frustrating. This post gives no helpful advice. Do what you want.
