Tao of Simplicity: 5 Minimalist Writing Tips From Hemingway: "5 Minimalist Writing Tips From Hemingway
I read a good article on Writing Tips from Ernest Hemingway.
His tips are:
1. Use short sentences.
2. Use short paragraphs.
3. Use vigorous English - make your writing forceful.
4. Use positive words instead of negative ones - i.e. software is 'stable' rather than 'bug-free'.
5. Write one page of masterpiece vs. 91 pages of garbage.
He was all about simplicity, minimalism, terseness, doing more with less, and quality over quantity.
His fourth step corresponds to the Law of Attraction - i.e. focusing on what you want instead of what you don't want."
