Good Writing and Brevity

I've been exposed to a little more than the usual level of overblown, inappropriately focused writing today, and was going to vent my frustration.

Instead, I'm going to post a link to one of the best and briefest how-to-write pieces I've run into in a very long time: "More Writing Advice."

It's advice written by a novelist, adapted by a professor for students writing academic papers. But the advice is good for anyone trying to communicate in this medium.
