What maketh a man
Francis Bacon’s wise words worth imprinting in memory:
Reading maketh a full man; conference a ready man; and writing an exact man. And therefore, if a man write little, he had need have a great memory; if he confer little, he had need have a present wit; and if he read little, he had need have much cunning, to seem to know, that he doth not.
What is great writing?
Writing is not just about placing one word after another. Neither are those words just to be placed to give you a grammatically correct sentence. The hope is that those grammatically correct sentences, formed from words placed one after another, also convey great ideas in the best form possible. That is what constitutes great writing.
