The Skill of Writing

March 31st, 2003

[Original Link] Tim O’Reilly on a favourite quote of his by Edwin Schlossberg:

“The skill of writing is to create a context in which other people can think”.

Possibly related, but possibly totally unrelated, posts include
 "Quote of the day"  "Great Hackers"  "How to give an excellent lecture"  "Summer’s lease hath all too short a date"
