Mail*Link(r) SMTP Quotes in writing
Here's a quote that inspires (or should it be "perspires"?) me as I struggle to
write a book:

"Anything that isn't writing is easy" --Jimmy Breslin

And I keep a short list of "rules of good writing" posted over my desk.

1. Know what to say.
2. Say it.
3. Stop.

Sorry--I don't know where the list came from, but I find it extremely helpful,
particularly in my battles to adhere to No. 3 on the list.
