Rules for Effective Writing

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

Extract from Orwell's Politics and the English Language.

Inspirational Quotes

A story should have a beginning, a middle, and an end... but not necess­arily in that order. - Jean-Luc Godard
Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possib­ili­ties; Truth isn't. - Mark Twain
You get ideas from daydre­aming. You get ideas from being bored. You get ideas all the time. The only difference between writers and other people is we notice when we're doing it. - Neil Gaiman
Stories of imagin­ation tend to upset those without one. - Terry Pratchett
No tears in the writer, no tears in the reader. No surprise in the writer, no surprise in the reader. Robert Frost
Writing a novel is like driving a car at night. You can see only as far as your headli­ghts, but you can make the whole trip that way. - E.L. Doctorow
I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in living. - Dr. Seuss
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be. -Douglas Adams

Love the quotes, especially the Mark Twain. Did this count toward your daily words or were you procrastinating?
