If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite

Never Use A Verb Other Than "said" To Carry Dialogue... I Once Noticed Mary Mccarthy Ending A Line Of Dialogue With "she Asseverated" And Had To Stop Reading And Go To The Dictionary.

A Pen Connects You To The Paper. It Definitely Matters.

If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It. Or, If Proper Usage Gets In The Way, It May Have To Go. I Can't Allow What We Learned In English Composition To Disrupt The Sound And Rhythm Of The Narrative.

I Used To Be Able To Write Five Pages A Day, Every Day, No Problem. Now A Good Day Is Five Or Four Pages, And That's From 9:30 A.m. Until 6 P.m.

To Me, Writing Is The Most Fun. It's Not Always Fun, But Finally When You Make It Come Out The Way You Want, It's Then You Can Say, 'it's Fun, Boy.'
