Daily Practice

So I have to remind myself:

1. Write every day
2. Challenge the belief that you can’t learn any more about being a good writer
3. Read the classics often
   The Elements of Style (illustrated one like I have)
   The AP Stylebook (all the way back to undergrad!)
   Writer’s Market (100th anniv this year)
   
   I’ll update this now and then today.

4. Just remembered Faulkner’s advice for writing: kill all your darlings, i.e. don’t be afraid to cross out that turn of phrase or word that you really think is great. Something better may come out of it.
