Well, how the heck did you think you could beat them at the same time that you're trying to be them?

A Dozen Writing Tips

Yes, really.  Writing tips.  This is legitimately the topic today.

To be honest, I haven't read "writing tips" since I was about eleven years old, so perhaps this was a beneficial experience for me.  On the other hand, it took me about two full days to actually read it through, as my brain was constantly telling me that I had better things to do.

But let's ignore that for now, as my inability to finish the article in a timely manner may be entirely due to the ease with which I am distracted.  Though I agreed with the basic principles of what Jonathan Dube said - like being comprehensive, entertaining, and taking risks - I also think that strict rules pertaining to writing stifle a writer's voice, which is so contrary to everything I want in life that I tend to reject such rules immediately.

In conclusion, fight the power.  Resist the man.  And most of all, never, ever compromise your own unique voice, because nobody else can say things like you can.

More or less yours,
