On Writing Well
I went back to my book, On Writing Well by William K. Zinsser, and it emphasizes what I’ve already know but have been afraid to do: to put myself in it. That is the essence of everything I need to do. I am being over-dramatic about finding topics for The Write Design blog. How about…
“Truth is powerful and it prevails.”
Sojourner Truth was right. That is what I’m going to practice as a journalist and blogger. Actually, I have put it in place and a change has occurred.
