This is a tremendous essay, and well worth the read. But please for the love of god use correct titles! This piece already has a name, and given that it was named by the man who wrote it - let's use his title.

For a brief, and cruel second you led me to believe that George Orwell had written a piece called "How to Write".

Apologies if the title got you unduly excited! I was echoing this submission (admittedly titled more accurately): http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4470133
