Janet Fitch's 10 rules for writers
july 2010 by patrix
"Long ago I got a rejection from the editor of the Santa Monica Review, Jim Krusoe. It said: “Good enough story, but what’s unique about your sentences?” That was the best advice I ever got. Learn to look at your sentences, play with them, make sure there’s music, lots of edges and corners to the sounds. Read your work aloud."
I remember writing a post quoting an article that described how good people write bad sentences. The author of that article commented on the post pointing out a 'bad sentence' in my post. I'm still not there yet.
