"You come by your style by learning what to leave out. At first you tend to overwrite--embellishment instead of insight"--Billy Collins
Thanks! That was one of the clearest articulations I've read, on how to create suspense.
I'm hungry.
I think as a nice rule of thumb you should answer questions in the opposite order that you ask them. (Q1, Q2, Q3, A3, A2, A1) So you should raise the big questions first and answer them last.
That is an incredibly good piece of writing advice. And nicely written to boot. Thanks!
Well, heck - now I'm hungry for cake. Good thing we own a bakery.Great article - he makes it sound so easy, doesn't he.
I printed this to keep on my desk. Thanks.
