Hopefully these one-liners I’ve collected on the craft of writing will help you, and perhaps not just in writing.

• DON’T TAKE YOURSELF TOO SERIOUSLY
• Be true to your I.Q.
• Embrace idiosyncrasies
• Make them laugh and/or make them cry
• “…a lot of times if you’re finding that you’re having to describe things with a lot of adverbs, find a stronger verb instead” – CJ Lyons interview
• Go beyond the five senses
• Forget about being pretty
• Don’t fall into stereotypes
• “Verbs are the foot soldiers of action-based description”
