4186. “the purpose of writing”

The first piece of advice is this: to achieve style, begin by

affecting none—that is, place yourself in the background. A

careful and honest writer does not need to worry about style.

As he becomes proficient in the use of language, his style will

emerge, because he himself will emerge, and when that happens

he will find it increasingly easy to break through the barriers

that separate him from other minds and hearts—which is of

course the purpose of writing, as well as its principal reward.
