DIRECTIONS FOR WRITING
The subject that you select must be one concerning which you know a great deal. It must be one that exists not only in your brain but also in your heart.
When you have selected your subject make a list of the points that appeal to you most, and that will represent every side of the subject.
When you write, let your emotion guide your pen. At the same time make every effort to select words that will be full of suggestive power. Write easily and rhythmically, and let your work end, as Mr. Paine's does, in an especially effective sentence.
