Quotable 399

Posted on March 31, 2021March 1, 2021 by bryon

Don’t say you were a bit confused and sort of tired and a little depressed and somewhat annoyed. Be tired. Be confused. Be depressed. Be annoyed. Don’t hedge your prose with little timidities. Good writing is lean and confident.
– William Zinsser
