The key to successful blogging ...

... courtesy of Garner's Usage Tip of the Day:

"Successful writing is saying that which others wish to say, but cannot; it is rarely saying that which has not been thought of before. How often you think, on reading a striking sentence: 'I have thought of that a thousand times!'" E.W. Howe, Ventures in Common Sense 123-24 (1919).

Comments
