10 Writing Tips From David Ogilvy
1. Read the Roman-Raphaelson...</title><description>&lt;img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lzpqeub3wr1r0wlvko1_400.jpg"/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;h2 class="post-title"&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;h2 class="post-title"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;10 Writing Tips From David Ogilvy&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Read the Roman-Raphaelson book on writing*. Read it three times.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Write the way you talk. Naturally.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;3. Use short words, short sentences and short paragraphs.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;4. Never use jargon words like &lt;em&gt;reconceptualize, demassification, attitudinally, judgmentally&lt;/em&gt;. They are hallmarks of a pretentious ass.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;5. Never write more than two pages on any subject.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;6. Check your quotations.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;7. Never send a letter or a memo on the day you write it. Read it aloud the next morning—and then edit it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;8. If it is something important, get a colleague to improve it.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;9. Before you send your letter or your memo, make sure it is crystal clear what you want the recipient to do.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;10. If you want ACTION, &lt;em&gt;don’t write&lt;/em&gt;. Go and &lt;em&gt;tell&lt;/em&gt; the guy what you want.  &lt;/p&gt;
