Franklin was full of interesting ideas (I think if Tim Ferriss could go back in time to interview one person, it should probably be Franklin) and I really like the idea of trying to reconstruct/emulate good writing. If you have the time, this is a great technique. For most of us, who need to write for work, we probably don't have (or think we have the time to do that). I've found it helpful to think of the story I'm trying to tell, as a story, with a beginning, middle, and end, and a hero(es), villian(s), etc. Then, everything is about the story, not about showing how smart you are by using a lot of big words, not about hiding complexity where it's a key part of the story, etc.
