“ I don’t think writers compete, I think they’re all doing separate things in their own style. ”
If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it.
~ Elmore Leonard
My most important piece of advice to all you would-be writers: When you write, try to leave out all the parts readers skip.
I started out of course with Hemingway when I learned how to write. Until I realized Hemingway doesn't have a sense of humor. He never has anything funny in his stories.
It's my attempt to remain invisible, not distract the reader from the story with obvious writing.
