Pay me by the word and I can make it stink.

I've just decided that essays are horrible training for a writer and the worst requirement is the page count. I broke the habit of killing my readers with a landslide of adjectives. That was a good thing.

While I'm complaining, please, everyone, when discussing your latest project don't abbreviate. Even when I've read it "Hey I finished the next chapter of JBLTDR" makes my eyes cross.

Okay, I'm done whining.

Here! Here! I hate acronyms. I spell out the names of organisations in most of my work. My readers may hate me, but they'll at least know what I'm talking about.
