It's weird when people start sentences with 'frankly' - as if their other sentences don't count.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never leave a sentence or a paragraph until I'm satisfied with it.
It's discouraging to think how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.
The most emphatic place in a clause or sentence is the end. This is the climax; and, during the momentary pause that follows, that last word continues, as it were, to reverberate in the reader's mind. It has, in fact, the last word.
I think with one exception I've never changed an opening sentence after a book was completed.
I like to believe that if you pay close attention to the sentences as they unfold, they will draw you in rather than pushing you away.
I get just as much of a thrill out of constructing a good sentence that gets a laugh at the end as I do from a joke.
It is discouraging how many people are shocked by honesty and how few by deceit.
Every sentence stands on its own. Whether that's fair or not, that's kind of the way it is.
Honestly, dialogue is a weird area for me. It just comes naturally; I know I'm quite good at it, but I can't actually tell you why or how in any detail.
Whatever I feel, I say frankly.
