A quote from "On Writing Well"

Steve in A quote from "On Writing Well":

I can confidently state that it is a book for me. Through the first two parts of the book I have become inspired and, I believe, have already improved my writing. But you can be the judge of that.

I will talk about it at length in the future, but for now I'll share this paragraph from page 78 (of the 30th anniversary edition).

Click through to Steve's blog to see the quote. It is great, and it has reminded me that I've been meaning to read On Writing Well forever. It wasn't on my Want to read list in my Reading log, but that has now been rectified.
