TEN PRINCIPLES FOR WRITING CLEARLY
1. Distinguish real grammatical rules from folklore (pp.11-15).
2. Use subjects to name the characters in your story (pp. 46-52).
3. Use verbs to name their important actions (pp.32-37).
4. Open your sentences with familiar units of information (pp.68-70).
5. Get to the main verb quickly:
 Avoid long introductory phrases and clauses (p. 121).
 Avoid long abstract subjects (pp. 121-122).
 Avoid interrupting the subject-verb connection (p. 123).
6. Push new, complex units of information to the end of the sentence (pp. 83-85).
7. Begin sentences that form a unit with consistent topic/subjects (pp. 72-75)
8. Be concise:
 Cut meaningless and repeated words and obvious implications (pp. 101-103).
 Put the meaning of phrases into one or two words (pp. 103-104).
 Prefer affirmative sentences to negative ones (pp. 104-105).
9. Control sprawl:
 Don’t tack more than one subordinate clause onto another (pp. 125-127).
 Extend a sentence with resumptive, summative, and free modifiers (pp. 127-129).
 Extend a sentence with coordinate structures after verbs (pp. 129-131).
10. Above all, write to others as you would have others write to you (pp. 193-194).

5. Make it clear where each part/section begins and ends (p. 179).
6. Order parts in a way that makes clear and visible sense to your readers (pp. 182-183).
7. Open each part/section with its own short introductory segment (pp. 179-182).
8. Put the point of each part/section at the end of that opening segment (pp. 179-182).
