What I didn't know
I have been writing most of my adult life, dating back to the late 50s. I vainly thought I was a pretty good writer, what else could I possibly learn? A good friend recommended I read William Zinsser's book On Writing Well. I'm glad I did, because I discovered many common mistakes writers make, and how to cure them. I'm on my second reading and discovering yet more ideas to help me improve. Richard Landerman, Salt Lake CityVerified purchase: YesCondition: New
