- Write a good first sentence, even if it isn't the first sentence you write, and half your job may well be taken care of.
- If you're having trouble writing the finish for a piece, re-read the last paragraph you've got; chances are you've already written a good finish.
Charlie Pierce reminds me that I don't always appreciate the juicy opener when it's produced by a journalist. And the examples he selects are damned hard to argue with. Go see.
