Join the conversation as we read and discuss “On Writing Well” by William Zinsser.
Join“Telling a writer to relax is like telling a man to relax while being examined for a hernia, and as for confidence, see how stiffly he sits, glaring at the screen that awaits his words. See how often he gets up to look for something to eat or drink. A writer will do anything to avoid the act of writing.” – William Zinsser [On Writing Well; page 19]
