For an effective essay, an author must be credible in his or her topic of discussion. In the case of Chris Godsey, he is able to prove his credibility. "I'm one of those guys who are hung up on their looks.--I concentrate on MTV, Hollywood, and US weekly ideals of masculine value and attractiveness." (Ashley Russel's blog) The entire discussion is on the problem of the ideal male body and trying to live up to it, and here the author is experiencing this first hand which makes his point quite valid.
Author Anne Lammott, establishes her credibility to discuss Shitty First Drafts. "For me and most of the other writers I know, writing is not rapturous." Here she states that she as a writer, does not have the euphoric and easy grace when writing. This sets a trust between the reader and the author.

My Favorite Quote
"To laugh often and love much; to win the respect of intelingent persons and the affection of children; to earn the approbation of honest citizens and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty; to find the best in others; to give of one's self; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch or a redeemed social condition; to have played and laughed with enthusiasm and sung with exultation; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived - this is to have succeeded."
