MY FAVORITE SHORT SENTENCES OF THE DAY
Try and bring home thoughts by actions and incidents. Don't make everything said. This is the inestimable value of the Cinema to novelists (don't scoff at this as a cheap epigram it is really very true). Make things happen... Whatever the temptation, for God's sake don't bring characters on simply to draw their characters and make them talk. Fit them into a design. --Evelyn Waugh
