People who think well, write well.</p> <p>Woolly minded people write woolly memos, woolly letters and woolly speeches.</p> <p>Good writing is not a natural gift. You have to learn to write well. Here are 10 hints:</p> <p>1. Read the Roman-Raphaelson book on writing. Read it three times.</p> <p>2. Write the way you talk. Naturally.</p> <p>3. Use short words, short sentences and short paragraphs.</p> <p>4. Never use jargon words like reconceptualize, demassification, attitudinally, judgmentally. They are hallmarks of a pretentious ass.</p> <p>5. Never write more than two pages on any subject.</p> <p>6. Check your quotations.</p> <p>7. Never send a letter or a memo on the day you write it. Read it aloud the next morning — and then edit it.</p> <p>8. If it is something important, get a colleague to improve it.</p> <p>9. Before you send your letter or your memo, make sure it is crystal clear what you want the recipient to do.</p> <p>10. If you want ACTION, don’t write. Go and tell the guy what you want.</p>”<br/><br/> - <em>David OgIlvy</em>http://www.shepdaddy.com/post/17365070138http://www.shepdaddy.com/post/17365070138Fri, 10 Feb 2012 03:31:20 -0500David ogilvyAdvertsingWriting tips
