There Is No Articulate Resonance. The Common Problem, I Suppose, Is To Have More To Say Than Vocabulary And Syntax Can Bear. That Is Why I Am Hunting In These Desiccated Streets.

This Is Not A Useful City. Very Little Here Approaches Any Eidolon Of The Beautiful.

Good Writing Is Clear. Talented Writing Is Energetic. Good Writing Avoids Errors. Talented Writing Makes Things Happen In The Reader's Mind - -vividly, Forcefully.

I Took My Writing Seriously, And It Seemed To Pay Off.
