“It’s not the fear of writing that blocks people, it’s fear of not writing well; something quite different.” ~ Scott Berkun

“In the broadest possible sense, writing well means to communicate clearly and interestingly and in a way that feels alive to the reader. Where there’s some kind of relationship between the writer and the reader – even though it’s mediated by a kind of text – there’s an electricity about it.”

“Rewriting is the essence of writing well: it’s where the game is won or lost. The idea is hard to accept. We all have emotional equity in our first draft; we can’t believe that it wasn’t born perfect. But the odds are close to 100 percent that it wasn’t.”
