Ik zag dit op Reddit en dacht dat het wel op een site vol schrijvers als Q zou passen.
This sentence has five words. Here are five more words. Five-word sentences are fine. But several together become monotonous. Listen to what is happening. The writing is getting boring. The sound of it drones. It’s like a stuck record. The ear demands some variety. Now listen. I vary the sentence length, and I create music. Music. The writing sings. It has a pleasant rhythm, a lilt, a harmony. I use short sentences. And I use sentences of medium length. And sometimes, when I am certain the reader is rested, I will engage him with a sentence of considerable length, a sentence that burns with energy and builds with all the impetus of a crescendo, the roll of the drums, the crash of the cymbals–sounds that say listen to this, it is important.
Van Gary Provost, een les met het variëren van lengte en ritme van zinnen in een verhaal. Ik vond 'm best mooi.

Zeker een goede tip
I hope you drown in all the cum you fucking swallow, to get yourself to the top.

3 aug 2013 - 18:183 aug 2013 - 18:19Oh, hier is er nog een die ik wel leuk vond. Iets directer.
Kurt Vonnegut's no-bullshit tips are great:
1) Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2) Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3) Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4) Every sentence must do one of two things — reveal character or advance the action.
5) Start as close to the end as possible.
6) Be a Sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7) Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.[ bericht aangepast op 3 aug 2013 - 18:19 ]
