3.   Good writing is not a natural gift. You have to learn to write well.
4. Use short words, short sentences and short paragraphs.
5. Never use jargon words like reconceptualize, demassification, attitudinally, judgmentally. They are hallmarks of pretentiousness.
6. Never write more than two pages on any subject.
7. Check your quotations.
