Style needs passion and soul behind it

It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows and the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years. Audrey Hepburn

Thoughts on style and writing |

- In composing, as a general rule, run your pen through every other word you have written; you have no idea what vigor it will give your style. Sydney Smith
- People often ask me why my style is so simple. It is, in fact, deceptively simple, for no two sentences are alike. It is clarity that I am striving to attain, not simplicity. Of course, some people want literature to be difficult and there are writers who like to make their readers toil and sweat. They hope to be taken more seriously that way. I have always tried to achieve a prose that is easy and conversational. And those who think this is simple should try it for themselves. Ruskin Bond
