« Discreet v. discrete — an easy way to remember which is which | Main | Analogy: What works, what doesn’t »
When I saw this guitar pictured in an advertisement, I knew I was going to buy it. I did. What made it so appealing? From the picture, you can seen that it’s different: it’s plain and unvarnished. When you look at it up close, hold it in your hands, and play it, you discover that it’s also finely crafted. The lesson: You can distinguish yourself from the herd by making your writing plain, unvarnished, and finely crafted.
(For you guitar aficionados out there, this is a Martin DXK2AE.)
