Five Great Quotations about Craft of Writing
“My task...is, by the power of the written word to make you hear, to make you feel – it is, before all, to make you see. That – and no more – and it is everything.” – Joseph Conrad
“The adjective is the enemy of the noun.” – Francois Marie Arouet de Voltaire
“Pay attention to the sound of words.” – Dave Wolverton
“An essential element for good writing is a good ear: One must listen to the sound of one's own prose.” – Barbara Tuchman
“As for the adjective, when in doubt leave it out.” – Mark Twain
Need an editor? Having your book, business document or academic paper proofread or edited before submitting it can prove invaluable. In an economic climate where you face heavy competition, your writing needs a second eye to give you the edge. Whether you come from a big city like Boston, Massachusetts, or a small town like Boston, Georgia, I can provide that second eye.
