“Contrary to popular opinion, there's no mystery to writing well. It's a skill that just about anyone can learn, more craft than art.”
Patricia T. O'Conner, Words Fail Me: What Everyone Who Writes Should Know about Writing

“An idea in your head is merely an idle notion. But an idea written down, that's the beginning of something! Stripped down to its briefs, a piece of writing is nothing more than a handful of ideas, put into words and arranged to do a job. We all get ideas—try not thinking in the shower. The trick is to write them down.”
Patricia T. O'Conner, Words Fail Me: What Everyone Who Writes Should Know about Writing

“Whenever there's something wrong with your writing, suspect that there's something wrong with your thinking.”
Patricia T. O'Conner, Words Fail Me: What Everyone Who Writes Should Know about Writing

“First, you need something to organize: ideas, material, scraps of expertise, recipes, prognostications, anecdotes, scurrilous gossip, anything that might be relevant to what you want to write. And you get this stuff by hoarding it, by faithfully making notes and squirreling them away.”
