Morgan Housel on The Written Word

Morgan Housel, a longtime blogger and author of the excellent book The Psychology of Money and the forthcoming Same as Ever: A Guide to What Never Changes, has shared a few of his thoughts about writing.

A few of my favorite ideas:

Writing for yourself is fun, and it shows. Writing for others is work, and it shows.

The beginning of a story should be as pleasurable to read as the big idea that comes later.

Whoever says the most stuff in the fewest words wins.

Take a look because the entire piece is short and insightful. We all write in some capacity, from work emails to the great American novel. Morgan shares valuable advice for us all.
