The editorial staff here at Word Flirt has come up with a collection of useful tips for aspiring and veteran writers.
- Rewriting is only for non-geniuses.
- It’s the word count, stupid! Writing is too hard to throw out superfluous text.
- Be punctilious with editing because spelling and grammer errors can effect your credulity.
- Never use an excessive redundancy of words where one will do.
- Never make up words in a misguided attempt to beautifulize your prose.
- Plan ahead and organize your work so that . . . can’t remember the rest.
- NEVER USE ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT’S HARD TO READ.
- An autobiography should have some semblance of the truth, but you can lie your ass off in a memoir.
LOL. Very clever.
