Coach Tom's Writing Resources

“Writing is hard work. A clear sentence is no accident. Very few sentences come out right the first time, or even the third time. Remember this in moments of despair. If you find that writing is hard, it’s because it is hard.”

          William Knowlton Zinsser, On Writing Well: The Classic Guide to Writing Nonfiction 

“The difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.” 

          Mark Twain
