On a recent Sunday morning visit to Borders, I felt that I needed inspiration to get my writing going. Although I have a stack of writing books at home, this one jumped off the shelf at me, and I actually enjoyed reading it (versus feeling like I had to push through). The author uses examples of good writing in both popular novels and movies to help drive home concepts, and I found myself revisiting some of the words that I’ve already put down. The advice in this book is probably best applied between the first and second drafts, as thinking about these concepts might interrupt the initial thought process where the most important thing is to simply get the words to paper. And, yes, that was a split infinitive, and this sentence starts with a conjunctive.
