Writing Tips
- Verbs has to agree with their subjects.
- Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
- And don't start a sentence with a conjunction.
- It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
- Avoid clich?s like the plague - they're old hat.
- Also, always avoid annoying alliteration.
- Also too, never, ever use repetitive redundancies.
- Parenthetical remarks (however relevant) are (usually) unnecessary.
- Contractions aren't necessary and shouldn't be used.
- One should never generalise.
- Comparisons are as bad as clich?s.
- Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
- Eliminate commas, that are not necessary.
- Never use a big word when a diminutive one will suffice.
- Understatement is always the best way to put forth earthshaking ideas.
- Use the apostrophe in it's proper place and omit it when its not needed.
- Eliminate quotations. As Ralph Waldo Emerson said, "I hate quotations. Tell me what you know."
- Even if a mixed metaphor sings, it should be derailed.
- Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.
- Proofread carefully to see if you any words out.
