Loss of William Zinsser

With regret I read yesterday of the passing of William Zinsser.

I benefited from his books
On Writing Well and Writing to Learn as learner and teacher. I still keep my copy of
On Writing Well on my desk, and refer to it.


Anyone who needs to learn how to write needs to read his works.


Writing About Your Life was one of the inspirations for this blog and helped get  me through what was in general a difficult summer.

Product Designers :(
