"Writing is like talking. It’s about explaining what you know to other people. The main difference between writing and talking is that talking uses gestures and inflection to create clarity, while clear writing depends on plain language and specificity.
"You needn't be an accomplished communicator to succeed as a writer. Compelling content and a skillful editor will do the trick."
