Introduction

There's nothing worse than that feeling of staring at your screen for hours on end — not knowing what to write, feeling paralyzed by perfectionism.

The trick is to stop fearing mistakes and embrace the power of intentional improvement.

On Writing Well is bestselling author William Zinsser's guide to the secrets of writing well.
