The answer is not more violence.

“I detest what you write, but I would give my life to make it possible for you to continue to write.” Voltaire

Mark Twain advice on writing

The writing begins when you’ve finished. Only then do you know what you’re trying to say.

Write without pay until somebody offers to pay.

As to the adjective: when in doubt, strike it out.

If I had more time, I would have written less.

In literature imitations do not imitate.

Use the right word, not its second cousin

Books are the liberated spirits of men.

You need not expect to get your book right the first time.
