2. … people said, “… Look at
Jane Austen and all her lovely
letters! Oh, the children these
days: they don’t keep diaries
any more …” But what do they
do now? They write blogs,
which are diaries ... In fact,
they’re writing more than Jane
Austen could ever have done.

14. Writing for an audience
Put it before them briefly

so they will appreciate it,
picturesquely so they will
remember it and, above
all, accurately so they will
be guided by its light.
