Author has written 12 stories for Bleach, Black Lagoon, One Piece, and Naruto. Some quotes I like about writing: "It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn't use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words like 'What about lunch?"--Winnie the Pooh "Short words are the best and old words when short are the best of all."--Winston Churchill "I try to leave out the parts that people skip."--Elmore Leonard "Easy reading is damn hard writing"--Nathaniel Hawthorne "The shorter and the simpler the sentence, the more you will understand and will be understood."--heard this somewhere "Write with verbs and nouns."--from the little book Elements of Style by Strunk and White "Be obscure clearly!"--E. B. White "If you don't have time to read, you don't have time and the tools to write. Simple as that."--Stephen King "The road to hell is paved with adverbs."--Stephen King "Omit needless words."--from the little book Elements of Style by Strunk and White "Nouns and verbs cannot be separated, so they make up the flesh of the banana;adjectives make up the peel; adverbs make up the gnats and the black spots."--heard this somewhere "The grandeur of a written story is not limited to the author's imagination. Those who know how to read understand this fact." | |||||||
