This is interesting: “10 Tips on Writing the Living Web.” The website has several other good essays for good writing such as “Write A Better Weblog.” So, how many of these rules do I actually follow?

Actually, the most helpful essay on good writing I’ve read is “Writing a Convincing Editorial by Robert W. Tracinski, collumnist and my current intructor in my OAC writing class. His essay and regular editorials provide inspiration and guidance for many of the essays you see on my website.

Edit: George Orwell’s 1946 essay “Politics and the English Language” is another must-read for any aspiring writer.

Tim Blair reports:
“GENERAL AMIR AL-SAADI, special aide to Saddam Hussein, is heartbroken over the mindless destruction of his beloved Al Samoud missiles:

Poor little Al Samouds. Just more innocent victims of the West’s brutality.

Al-Saadi said Iraq had not permitted photographs or video images of the destruction – despite the potential impact on world opinion – because it didn’t want the Iraqi people to see what would be a bitter image.“It is too harsh. It is unacceptable. That’s why we have released no pictures,” he said somberly.

The people need a happy picture. This is an early design blueprint for the next generation of Iraqi ul-Snoop anthrax fragmentation grenades.”
Also, Iraqi soldiers are already getting their white flags ready, it seems.
