I have pulled out a few of the ideas from previous sketchnotes I created from William Zinsser’s On Writing Well and sketched those ideas onto 3×5 note cards as part of my One Card One Concept project.

Next, the importance of the personal transaction: how writing with warmth and humanity can engage readers (even those who think they have no interest in the subject of your writing).
