How does your writing express  you?

"I took a lot of time to learn about the stock market and technology.  I'm proud that I can write something that complicated.  I think I'm known for taking a big amount of information and bringing it down so it's clear."


Quotes
"If you were writing about video games for a serious gamer, you'd write that very differently than if you were writing for your grandmother."


"You have to know who it is that's going to be reading your piece.  If you don't, you're going to lose them."


"It's important in my writing to tell them right away what it is they're going to be reading about."
