Giving $10 Million to an African Village

More on Writing

I know last week I harangued you about learning how to write, but I saw another great piece on how to improve your writing. I had to share it.

Paul Graham is a Silicon Valley legend. He regularly writes fantastic essays about his world views. Earlier this week he wrote about writing. He closes with an inspiring thought:
