Skip The Boring Parts

For some reason, I'm fixated on Elmore Leonard these days.

I think he's one of the best writers working today, despite the fact that his subject matter can be a little rough.

One of my favorite quotes about writing comes from Leonard, who advises: “skip the boring parts.”

Just as true for marketing copy as it is for novels.

And the reason this post is only five lines long.
