Tip for Tuesday - For Writers

A great writing resource is The Elements of Style by William Struck Jr. and E.B. White.

It's a short little book packed full with helpful tips, hints, and examples.

Here is one example of the types of advice listed in the book:

"Exclamations: Do not attempt to emphasize simple statements by using a mark of exclamation.

The exclamation mark is to be reserved for use after true exclamations or commands.

What a wonderful show!
Halt!

Margins: Keep right-hand and left-hand margins roughly the same width."
