How To Write Good [I was going to save this for your BD, SSS, but ..........]
1. Avoid Alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. They are old hat.
4. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
5. Be more or less specific.
6. Writers should never generalize.
Seven: Be consistent!
8. The use of passive voice is to be avoided.
9. It is wrong to ever split an infinitive.
10. Don’t be redundant; don’t use more words than necessary; it’s highly superfluous.
11. Eschew ampersands & abbreviations, etc.
12. One-word sentences? Eliminate.
13. Analogies in writing are like feathers on a snake.
14. Exaggeration is a brazillian times worse than understatement.
15. Don’t forget to end your sentences in punctuation
16. Foreign words and phrases: no mas.
17. Using profanity in a formal document is horseshit.
18. Contractions aren’t necessary.
19. Don’t be redundant: Brevity, brevity, brevity!
20. When it comes to avoiding mixed metaphors, sometimes it’s 4th and 15 and you’re looking at a full court press to find alternatives.
