stop now before i kill you a word to the wise from your friend PENNYWISE

I’m convinced that fear is at the root of most bad writing. Dumbo got airborne with the help of a magic feather; you may feel the urge to grasp a passive verb or one of those nasty adverbs for the same reason. Just remember before you do that Dumbo didn’t need the feather; the magic was in him.

You want to remember that while you're judging the book, the book is also judging you.
