MCCARTY
METRO: TIPS ON HOW TO WRITE GOOD! |
1. Avoid Alliteration. Always.
2. Prepositions are not words to end sentences with.
3. Avoid clichés like the plague. They're old hat.
4. Comparisons are as bad as clichés.
5. Be more or less specific. |
6. Metro
writers should never ever generalize.
Seven: Be consistent!
8. Don't be redundant; don't user more words than necessary; it's highly
superfluous.
9. Who needs rhetorical questions?
10. Exaggeration is a billion times worse than understatement. |

WHY do the TV stations always tell you how much lottery players won but never how much lottery players lost? WHY do fat chance and slim chance mean the same thing? WHY do we order 'out' when we order 'in?' WHY is the wise man and wise guy opposites? WHY is it that night falls but day breaks?
