Today's writing tips are from 3 great writers:

1. "Keep your exclamation points under control. You are allowed no more than two or three per 100,000 words of prose. If you have the knack of playing with exclaimers the way Tom Wolfe does, you can throw them in by the handful." — Elmore Leonard

2. "Always carry a note-book. Or YQ. And I mean always. The short-term memory only retains information for three minutes; unless it is committed to paper (or a wallpaper) you can lose an idea for ever." — Will Self & YQ Baba

3. Show, Not Tell: "Don’t tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass." – Anton Chekhov
