Excellent guidelines by Naipul on writing for beginners.

I read these on the Scientific-American website and I think that these points put forth by Naipul for rookie writers apply to many other situations like conversing, arguing, judging etc.
Here they are:
(1) Write sentences of no more than ten to 12 words;
(2) Make each sentence a clear statement (a series of clear linked statements makes a paragraph);
(3) Use short words—average no more than five letters;
(4) never use a word you don’t know the meaning of;
(5) Avoid adjectives except for ones of colour, size and number;
(6) Use concrete words, avoid abstract ones;
(7) Practise these rules every day for six months.
