<p>Advice for writers from Dr. Seuss on his birthday:</p> <p>Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy, Happy Birthday, Doc, wherever you are!</p> <p><span>“It has often been said </span><br/><span>there’s so much to be read, </span><br/><span>you never can cram </span><br/><span>all those words in your head. </span><br/><br/><span>So the writer who breeds </span><br/><span>more words than he needs </span><br/><span>is making a chore </span><br/><span>for the reader who reads. </span><br/><br/><span>That’s why my belief is </span><br/><span>the briefer the brief is, </span><br/><span>the greater the sigh </span><br/><span>of the reader’s relief is. </span><br/><br/><span>And that’s why your books </span><br/><span>have such power and strength. </span><br/><span>You publish with shorth! </span><br/><span>(Shorth is better than length.)” </span><br/><span>― </span><a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/61105.Dr_Seuss">Dr.
