Three recent notes on the value of writing well.

Fri, 27 Aug 2010 17:38:00 +0930

“Hire the better writer […] Writing is today’s currency for good ideas”, from Rework, by Jason Fried and David Heinemeier Hansson.
Jim Coudal: “I will always hire the one who can write. It’s the sign of an organised mind.” (via Liz Danzico, whose own writing keeps me thinking and moving)
Frank Chimero: “Learn to write, and not school-style writing. A text editor is a perfectly viable design tool.” And he also says that “The best communicators are gift-givers.”

”[…] I will say simply that we all need to be in the arms of someone, and in tango, we can do it … even with a stranger.”

Sang-hyun: It’s a bigger sin for a priest.
Tae-ju: I’m not Catholic. To me, you’re just a needy, single man.
Sang-hyun: We can both go to hell for this.
Tae-ju: I don’t have faith. I’m not going to hell.

“Ultimately, my whole approach to what I do is 95% effort and 5% talent. I really see it as a sport. You probably won’t become a tennis player if you don’t stand on the court for six hours a day and whack balls over the net. And if you do that, you have to be incredibly untalented for it not to work. But I think it’s tempting to think as a creative professional, you sit there and you’re creative. So much of it is just doing it everyday for hours.”
