Easy on the adverbs…

    Elmore Leonard’s rules for writing show up as a link in the sidebar at Dylan Tweney’s linkfest, but the post seems to have been removed.  Nevermind… the link survives.  Tweney’s slightly snarky "Don’t center your copy, since it makes it fucking hard to read" is, needless to say, not included in Leonard’s white type on blue background eyestrain extravaganza.  Still, all the advice is good.

    [Disclosure:  I found my way to Tweney's site in search of the infinite recursion of two bloggers blogging each other's blogging of each other's blogs of each other's posts relating to prior posts, articles, etc. ad infinitum.]
