Several Short Sentences About Writing
Most of what school taught you about writing is debris. A rebuild, working one sentence at a time.
Verlyn Klinkenborg’s opening claim is that most of what you were taught about writing is harmful debris. What follows is set out in short lines rather than paragraphs, and works sentence by sentence: noticing, revising, and abandoning the idea that writing means transcribing a thought you already had.

The 2nd-best and most-radical book about great writing. It tells you to focus entirely on the sentence, an approach that was already my favorite, which is why I bought this book.
