Never Feel Guilty About Reading,

Dangling Punch Lines To Forgotten Stories Remain In The Language Like The Smile Of The Cheshire Cat.

Never Look For The Story In The 'lede.' Reporters Are Required To Put What's Happened Up Top, But The Practiced Pundit Places A Nugget Of News, Even A Startling Insight, Halfway Down The Column, Directed At The Politiscenti. When Pressed For Time, The Savvy Reader Starts There.

When I Need To Know The Meaning Of A Word, I Look It Up In A Dictionary.

If You Re-read Your Work, You Can Find On Re-reading A Great Deal Of Repetition Can Be Avoided By Re-reading And Editing.

By Elevating Your Reading, You Will Improve Your Writing Or At Least Tickle Your Thinking.
