POPSHow to write - some reminders Let it rest. Never write up to a deadline. Allow your writing at least a few hours, a day or two if you can, before you come back to it. Cut, cut, cut. You’ve been told that a piece of writing should be exactly as long as it needs to be to get its point across. That’s wrong – it should be half that long. Rewrite. You’ll break all these rules in your first draft. That’s why it’s called a “first” and not “only” draft. Writers just don’t get it right the first time – cut, cut, cut and rework your text into a lean, tight, and clear piece of work.

POPSThe Pressure of Time A verb is a movement that must have an object, an urge for an attaching of its desire, for what would the sea be if there were no shore to crash upon and sound its melancholy slow withdrawing ebb, and where would mari-time be if all were only sea? And where would you be if all there was is me? Verbs are the electricity of stories, being comes into being on energy's random licking of obscure and fleeting objects.
