"Compare 'Cutting down all those beautiful old trees really changed the appearance of the landscape' with 'In two weeks, the loggers transformed a ten thousand-acre forest of old growth red and white pine into a field of ruts and stubble.'"
(Stephen Wilbers, Keys to Great Writing. Writer's Digest Books, 2000)
The warm bread with nut-brown crust and yeasty aroma made my mouth water (concrete and specific). Your authority as a writer comes from your concrete and specific words, not your education or job title."
(Daniel Graham and Judith Graham, Can Do Writing: The Proven Ten-Step System for Fast and Effective Business Writing. John Wiley, 2009)
"Nouns such as thing, area, aspect, factor, and individual are especially dull and imprecise."
(Diana Hacker, The Bedford Handbook, 6th ed. Bedford/St. Martin's , 2002)
