This has been an incredible read so far. I started it twice and struggled to get into it both times. I pushed on and with effort I went to really enjoying it and now by halfway through loving this.

"Moreover and furthermore are Columbo adverbs: all they mean is 'and one more thing,' when the reader has already spotted that you've said one thing and are now saying another." -- This is too funny of a reference for this was what my dad loved best about Columbo.

Such a great read!

Fantastic book so far. I have read CS Lewis stuff before and find myself flapping in the deep end of his essay writing half the time but his letter writing wonderful! He is concise and clear and honest. And quite funny! Such a window into the writer and Christian. I haven’t understood why reading letters were so enjoyable but now I get it.

Loved how the second chapter finished talking about how creative endeavors are a gift to be opened and enjoyed. How a gift is presented and wrapped matters. The connection of this to sentence writing and how we carefully choose our words and craft them together in such a way that from writer to reader a good sentence is always a relished gift.
