To Me, A Book Is A Book,

Using Adverbs Is A Mortal Sin.

I Don't Want The Reader To Be Aware Of Me As The Writer.

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.

I Spent Most Of My Dough On Booze, Broads And Boats And The Rest I Wasted.

My Most Important Rule Is One That Sums Up The 10: If It Sounds Like Writing, I Rewrite It.
