George Orwell
\ni.\tNever use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
\nii.\tNever use a long word where a short one will do.
\niii.\tIf it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
\niv.\tNever use the passive where you can use the active.
\nv.\tNever use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
\nvi.\tBreak any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.<\/p>\n

\nThe man who cannot say what he has to say in good English cannot have very much to say that is worth listening to.<\/p>\n

\nMany of the stories people tell in everyday life have a moral to them, a point to make. Here\u2019s the basic plotline: \u201cIf you act this way, do something this foolish or this brave or this considerate, then this is what\u2019s going to happen.\u201d I think a story in the writing we produce likewise has to do something. It needs to contain or build toward a claim or an argument of some kind. We are basically saying to the reader: Look, I\u2019m telling you this story because I want to illustrate a point, or shine a new light on something, or reveal layers and tensions where we thought none existed. No matter how moving a story might be, it has work to do.<\/p>\n

Anne Lamott
\nAlmost all good writing begins with terrible first efforts. You need to start somewhere. Start by getting something \u2014 anything \u2014 down on paper.<\/p>\n
Writing is about hypnotizing yourself into believing in yourself, getting some work done, then unhypnotizing yourself and going over the material coldly.<\/p>\n
You are lucky to be one of those people who wishes to build sand castles with words, who is willing to create a place where your imagination can wander.<\/p>\n

Mark Twain
\nThe difference between the right word and the almost right word is the difference between lightning and a lightning bug.<\/p>\n
