I try to leave out the parts that people skip. Elmore Leonard This
book is all about writing: it is both a practical and a personal
account. When you write a book like this you put yourself on the
line: you run the risk of people reading what you have written and
saying 'he's saying one thing and doing another'. You stand to
break the rules that you set up - quite badly. That is probably not
such a terrible thing; besides, that should be part of the process
of using this book. As you read it, notice when rules are broken.
Check the phrasing, the sentence and paragraph construction, and
see whether or not I have stuck to the rules. Then see whether or
not the rules would have improved the passage in question. Begin to
read books as much for their style, layout and general format as
for their con tent. If you are going to write, you need to see
plenty of examples of all of these things - good, bad and
indifferent. to write for some time but was always This is a book I
have wanted nervous of writing, so here it is: an introduction to
some of the ways and means of writing. lt is, as I say, personal; I
hope it will be useful. A word about sexism and the writing
process. I find the use of 'his or her' and its variants clumsy."
