My newly purchased writer's book arrived today!

I labeled myself a short writer.  It all started when I studied to become a Certified Paralegal. Research fast and write short- in perfect legalize of course.  After 15 years, it was a nearly perfect habit, except I didn't want it to be.  As much as I love to write, I have not been able to write with reckless abandon.  I heard a piece on NPR about How to Write Short by Roy Peter Clark and ordered it immediately!  Guess what I'm doing tonight?
