Never forget that you are practicing a craft with certain principles.

Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill rode to glory on the back of the strong declarative sentence.

Decide what you want to do. Then decide to do it. Then do it.

If you lose the dullards back in the dust, that's where they belong. You don't want them anyway.

Many writers are paralyzed by the thought that they are competing with everybody else who is trying to write and presumably doing it better.... Forget the competition and go at your own pace. Your only contest is with yourself.

Never let anything go out into the world that you don't understand.

When you're ready to stop, stop. If you have presented all the facts and made the point you want to make, look for the nearest exit.
