Text Quotes
Publishers never tell writers anything. They’re all crazy and they drive me crazy. (Anne Bernays Quotes)
Nice writing isn’t enough. It isn’t enough to have smooth and pretty language. You have to surprise the reader frequently, you can’t just be nice all the time. Provoke the reader. Astonish the reader. Writing that has no surprises is as bland as oatmeal. Surprise the reader with the unexpected verb or adjective. Use one startling adjective per page (Anne Bernays Quotes)
It sounds shameful, but on my best days I write only about three or four hours (Anne Bernays Quotes)
