How to Write Good
1. Avoid alliteration-always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid cliches like the plague. They're old hat.
4. Be more or less specific.
five. Be consistent.
6. Who needs rhetorical questions?
7. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement.

Some respectful responses to your dang good recommendations, Shirley:

1. Mr. Piper has a hard time getting around this one while at the farmer's market.

2. Death sentences generally end in pray positions.

3. I thought it was one of Camus' better works, and hardly derivative.

4. Darwin was more specific. That's where his genus lies.

Five. A pox of a thousand Hobgoblins upon ye, Madame!

6. Who does not need rhetorical questions. What needs rhetorical questions. Who needs a new mitt. (Not sure about I Don't Know).

7. I think you're being a bit hyperbolic with this one.

8. Avoid dangling participles. And, generally try not to dangle anything, unless you're at a nudist colony.
