We all need to communicate and want to influence others.
Learn to write well.
How? Read and listen to books. Then practice. Strive to be a clear and compelling communicator.

Good word. Best books for learning to write better include On Writing Well by William Zinsser, On Writing (A Memoir of the Craft (Reissue)) by Stephen King, The Elements of Style, Fourth Edition by William Strunk JR. and E.B. White and especially How to Write Policies, Procedures & Task Outlines: Sending Clear Signals in Written Directions (ironically verbose title, I know) by Larry Peabody

Think Daily always has the motivation and reminders I need. I dream of being a fantasy writer and try to take in as much as I possibly can to bring that dream closer to reality. I also want to thank Cory Hanneman for his commented suggestions! Increasing my list of books to read is never a bad thing, especially when they’re for the cause!

Agreed, “The Fountainhead” & “Atlas Shrugged” are terrific examples of the benefits of free-market capitalism and moral objectivism. Her writing will have you thinking differently about yourself and the world around you.

I’m thankful to my mother for pushing me to be a strong writer. She made me work hard to find the right word on countless occasions and help me understand the power of language. Being an effective writer has opened many doors for me and provided me the opportunity to help others with their writing, too. You’re right, Larry – if you want to improve your writing, read and listen to the well-crafted words of others.
