This is so good, thanks Paul. Memorizing poetry is a very interesting idea that I've never tried. I have heard about reading my piece out loud so will work on making that a habit.

Great list! I also followed the link to David's interview with Neil Strauss. Very interesting and thought provoking. Thanks Paul.

An excellent list! I was checking them off in my head as I was reading them. You should never let yourself get too comfortable with your writing, because there's always so much to think about.

That’s true about a lot to think about. Thanks, Ben.

Lists like these are great. Ideas may overlap but hearing them from another point of view provides clarity and perspective. Thanks, Paul!

There's a lot of wisdom here, Paul. A lot of it I already knew and put to practice. 1) Write what you know. 2) Use active verbs 3) Clarity (he used the word "communication," but it's the same thing). 4) The great writers are also great readers).

I could go on, but this is a handy primer for all of us on how to do it right. Thanks!
