Three Quick
Items
1. Thanks
to Darienne for reminding me:
"The Elements of Style" by William Strunk Jr.
and E.B. White are almost required for all writers.
A quote from Professor
Strunk: "Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no
unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason
that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary
parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short or avoid all
detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word tell."
2. Our fearless leader,
Ernie Ovitz, will be unable to attend tonight or the next meeting. We'll miss
him.
3. Our thanks to Peter. Here
is the information for an on-air radio program that features local writers and
their work.
