After talking about how our siblings suck at writing.

me: its like I tell my sister, be informative but keep it simple, and always get straight to the point. It took her forever to stop trying to stretch out sentences with needless words or information

pynkcandee@gmail.com: Yup

me: and always, make it sound like the way you'd talk to a teacher

pynkcandee@gmail.com: I told my brother to get "On writing well"

thats the heart of that book

cut the junk

1:46 AM and remember who you are writing for

me: I just reread that book

pynkcandee@gmail.com: Oh really?

me: yeah

pynkcandee@gmail.com: You read that?

me: because I'm tutoring on the side

yup

pynkcandee@gmail.com: I am still shocked you read it once!
