Summary Of On Writing Well By William Zinsser

After reading chapters 1,2,3, & 7 of On Writing Well by William Zinsser, I found that his stance on the importance of simplicity in writing very impactful as not only does this pertain to writing but to lots of other aspects of life. Zinsser believes in the importance of routine, this applies to my life as almost everything I do daily is routine based. Without a solid foundation and consistency, I believe everything we wish to accomplish cannot be done successfully without it. For example, every morning wake up at the same time and go to the gym at the same time. Without this routine, I would begin to lack motivation and proceed to skip days, ultimately costing myself muscle growth. Zinsser also argued the importance of simplicity within writing.
