Loving the book 'On Writing Well' by William Zinsser.

So far, this is my favourite line.... even if you add chatGPT i still believe it holds true.

Window cill work started today. Removed all failing paint & cleaned off. I then applied 2 coats of Zinsser Peel Stop to bind this all down nicely. As a breathable product, it doesn’t trap moisture underneath. Next stage is filling & profile rebuilding.

This is the result of an MDF door raw cut edge not being filled & sealed before applying paint. The avoid this I’d apply Zinsser BIN shellac, followed by wood filler to smooth out. Now the edge would no longer remain porous.

In 1970, William Zinsser taught non-fiction at Yale University for 9 years.

Although he passed away in 2015, Zinsser's advice in his book, On Writing Well, is applicable to digital writers today.

Zinsser advises that we become verbose while writing so we can sound more clever.
