"I've organized the principles of elegant writing into ten basic techniques. Each technique is explained in ten sets of instructions. When appropriate, which it usually is, I include an example clearly demonstrating how the principle being discussed has been used by an accomplished writer to great effect. But why my obsession with ten? I believe that as humans we are hard-wired to think and absorb in increments of ten"-- Provided by publisher.
