Mark Twain On Writing

2007-12-15T19:03:00.000-08:00

"I notice that you use plain, simple language, short words and brief sentences. That is the way to write English - it is the modern way and the best way. Stick to it; don't let fluff and flowers and verbosity creep in. When you catch an adjective, kill it. No, I don't mean utterly, but kill most of them - then the rest will be valuable. They weaken when they are close together. They give strength when they are wide apart. An adjective habit, or a wordy, diffuse, flowery habit, once fastened upon a person, is as hard to get rid of as any other vice." >>>

Jane Austen On Writing

2007-07-27T09:08:00.000-07:00

"Let other pens dwell on guilt and misery."

"I begin already to weigh my words and sentences more than I did, and I am looking about for a sentiment, and illustration or a metaphor in every corner of the room. Could my ideas flow as fast as the rain in the store closet it would be charming."

"I do not write for such dull elves; As have not a great deal or ingenuity themselves."

"An artist cannot do anything slovenly." >>

Nathanial Hawthorne On Writing

2007-01-13T13:28:00.000-08:00

"Easy reading is damn hard writing."

"Words - so innocent and powerless as they are, as standing in a dictionary, how potent for good and evil they become in the hands of one who knows how to combine them."

"Nobody, I think, ought to read poetry, or look at pictures or statues, who cannot find a great deal more in them than the poet or artist has actually expressed. Their highest merit is suggestiveness."

"The devil himself gets in my inkstand." >>
