Yeah, I know, I know, it's not writing. But it is creative!

I haven't been doing much writing this past month because I've had the chance to work as an editor. (Yay, money!)
So to include some writing (because that's what my blog is all about), here's tips from from published authors:

"There is nothing to writing. All you do is sit down at a typewriter and bleed"
-- Ernest Hemingway

"If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it."
-- Elmore Leonard

"Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass"
-- Anton Chekhov

and to round it off with George Orwell:
1. Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
2. Never use a long word where a short one will do.
3. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
4. Never use the passive where you can use the active.
5. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
6. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
