Never Write Again
April 9th, 2009
When he’s not eating (and I can’t imagine that leaves too much time leftover), Alec Baldwin apparently likes to pick up the NYT. And carry it. And sometimes even read it.
He has a piece in the Huff n’ Puff today, and it’s clearly only there because of his celebrity status. It cannot be because of his writing skills.
Using short sentences every so often is an effective way of adding impact to what you’re writing.
But using short sentences for every sentence means that you’re not very clever. At all. Bearing in mind that this piece was probably the culmination of weeks, if not months, of strenuous concentration, let’s be generous of spirit and give Alec an A for effort.
