Revising Prose

Richard Lanham

Recommended by 1 person on the record.

The bar next to each date shows how long ago it was said: 7d is days, 4yr is years.

Des Traynor recommends it
I’d also recommend Revising Prose by Richard Lanham. I’ve rarely met a great CEO or founder who isn’t also a great writer.

That little bar

It says how long ago something was said, so you can tell last month from 2014 without doing the arithmetic. Full and green is recent; it drains and cools as the date gets older, and empties completely at about 6 years.

A striped bar means the date itself is an estimate — the source did not carry an exact one. An entry with no date at all gets no bar.
