Never use abstract nouns when concrete ones will do. If you mean “More people died” don’t say “Mortality rose.”

You mean apart from wearing layers? Don’t take yourself too seriously. Take the work seriously, take the time to do it everyday, but don’t get all bent out of shape about being a struggling artist. If the pleasure doesn’t outweigh the pain then stop, for goodness sake. Life is too short. Oh, and disconnect from the Internet; that bugger will distract the living daylights out of you.

Great writing is about suspending a reader’s disbelief. Every time your reader has to exit the story world, you’ve created a crack in your story. Write to keep your reader immersed in the elements of your story. #amwriting Writing.

Hold fast to dreams,
For if dreams die
Life is a broken-winged bird,
That cannot fly.

I write only because
There is a voice within me
That will not be still
