  1. Damned if you do, damned if you don’t. As a writer, I tend to prefer leaning on the reader’s imagination, I mean, they should have an imagination, right? Esp as that imagination can fill in the detail much more than my words can. So, my typical description of a character… a sentence of two, because, well, when I’m a reader, I find that pages and pages of description to be a pet peeve of mine.
  2. Don’t chew your arm off! Having some tips are good, especially when they’re word patterns that can indicate a more serious issue, but sometimes those words are the right choice.
  3. He was wasted when he wanted to waist holster his right to bear arms?
  4. And anything can be overused. When I find such a word, I’ll try to avoid it for a while, it can help me weed it down to a better level. As to the comma, don’t forget to eat, shoot, and leave
  5. Wow, such an old topic, interesting find @Dirty Unicorn. In my stories, I want things to be realistic/plausible, so I excise anything that isn’t. Guess that’s a pet peeve of mine, unrealistic/highly-improbable. (Though, I’ll overlook it on a story/movie if it’s otherwise very, very, interesting.)
  6. I tend to get the most ideas on the way out the door heading to work…. then I’m rushing to write ‘em down so I don’t forget it.
  7. I don’t know the costs to a proper https server, but it should be considered, just from a privacy standpoint on those people from non-US jurisdictions that might frown on some of the content here.
