I really appreciate how much Zinsser stresses how important writing about yourself is. It’s a great way to sort out one’s mind and make sense of what is going on in life. Zinsser describes writing about yourself as a “liberating journey”, picking apart your brain, getting to the root of that one thing that’s been gnawing away at your brain. Just putting your thoughts down on paper will make everything clearer as you can now actually see your thoughts. Approaching writing about yourself is this way will have a great impact on one’s writing. Keeping all this in mind, Zinsser also heavily stresses how crucial it is to incorporate as much detail in writing. Incorporating the five senses in writing will greatly help paint a better picture in the readers head. Zinsser stresses to approach writing as if it were a detailed painting.
