-
- 1. Never let a non-writer engage you in a grammar argument.
- If you can't smile and walk away, then say "Because *I'm*
- the writer, that's why."
-
- 2. End on prepositions if that's what you want to end on.
-
- 3. Stop typing now and then, or you will get a RSI, and then you
- won't be able to write, and then you won't be able to work, and
- then you'll starve and die.
