Advice

Not mine (and better for it). These deserve yearly readings:

— Halmos’ essay on mathematical writing applies equally well to any sort of nonfiction.
— Hamming’s classic You and your research might as well have been called “you and your work.” There’s also a video of the actual talk.
Strunk and White. Omit needless words! Omit needless words! Omit needless words!
