Synopsis

Never Use a Long Word Where a Short One Will Do is a collection of the three hundred essential rules of writing from some of the most successful writers of the past and present — from Margaret Atwood to William Faulkner, Charles Bukowski to Stephen King, Mark Twain to Anne Lamott, and many others. These writers offer advice, encouragement, and tips with insights on getting and staying motivated, moving past writer’s block, editing and rewriting, and finishing writing projects. They share how they do it ... and inspire you so you can too.
