When you combine something to say with the skill to say it properly, then you've got a good writer.
From Theodore Sturgeon
I teach writing courses and first of all, I teach my students what prosody is.
Here's the point to be made - there are no synonyms. There are no two words that mean exactly the same thing.
The first writing I did was short short stories for a newspaper syndicate for which I was paid five dollars a piece on publication.
I learned how to live on five and sometimes ten dollars a week.
The story of my very first sale is the fact that I dreamed up a foolproof paper to cheat an insurance company out of several hundred thousand dollars.
