Journal #23

Copy/paste the following quote into your journal and highlight or underline TEN important words that you should employ when writing your 50 word or less statement for the doodle4google contest:

“Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all his sentences short, or that he avoid all detail and treat his subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.” —William Strunk Jr., The Elements of Style
