Tips for Writers

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.
