The first rule of writing is to use fewer words than you think you need to. I violate this rule every time I put my fingers on the keyboard.

The First Rule
December 17, 2007
On the first of each month I choose a quote from a great writer, muse on its implications for our lives, and send those thoughts on to you. It’s not really a “newsletter.” More like a museletter. I call it, “Mann’s Search for Meaning.”
“There’s always tomorrow”
In the metaphysical form, now that’s a debatable thought, for should you never wake, “your tomorrow never comes” ……
Debatable perhaps, but true nonetheless: on the day I never wake, I will fulfill Rule #1!
