The antidote to envy is one's own work. Always one's own work. Not the thinking about it. Not the assessing of it. But the doing of it… [T]he work itself. It drives the spooks away.
-Bonnie Friedman
I give this book to everyone. Tufte works through hundreds of syntax patterns and their effects on the reader, using real examples drawn from every type of writing imaginable.
This book is a fucking joy. https://t.co/3t797GQsYw

Ian Leslie • Curious: The Desire to Know and Why Your Future Depends On It
Dramatic Irony: Employ Hitchcock’s favorite device and hide from the protagonist a fact known to the audience.
