How to Write with Style: Kurt Vonnegut's 8 Keys to the Power of the Written Word

It is this genuine caring, and not your games with language, which will be the most compelling and seductive element in your style. I am not urging you to write a novel, by the way — although I would not be sorry if you wrote one, provided you genuinely cared about something.

Joss Whedon

Education. Dignified. Real or Not Real.
