No offense, but you sound offended. That was not my intention. I simply disagree with your approach to the first-person (not fully, because I...
Yeah. I agree with pretty much all of that. I think it depends on what you, as a writer, are looking for. I am a firm believer that there are no...

I think a combination of both is essential. I think we can all agree that over-reliance on the Thesaurus will result in poor writing.
There is a simple solution to this problem. I believe that using a Thesaurus is in fact, absolutely essential to a new writer. It's the best way...
It's a shame you can't say whatever you feel in your own novel. It's a work of fiction, if you state this at the beginning of your novel, how can...
