| Favorite Quote | Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it’s because it is hard.

| My Review | I love reading about writing, especially from an author’s perspective. As a fiction writer, I may not agree or apply all of Zinsser’s tips, but I can appreciate them all the same.
