Isn’t E.B. White just the greatest?
Thanks, Jorge.

According to the August 09 issue of AARP magazine, this is Elmore Leonard’s favorite writing rule: “Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.”

I like what Gilad says (he’s the buff dude on FitTV – “Don’t wait for inspiration to take action. Take action and inspiration will come.”

Good one.
Thanks, Anne. I remember writing my first book, sitting in the living room, the TV on at the other end of the room, my wife rattling and crashing things in the kitchen, the kids making noise, while I cranked out page after page. I guess I can tune it out or something.

“Funny how someone doing the dishes, etc. sounds what, six times as loud when you’re trying to write?”
