Easy on the adverbs, says Elmore

There’s a superb article on writing in the New York Times, which I spotted today because it made the front page of del.icio.us (via popurls.com). I’ve no idea why it’s surfaced now as it was published in July 2001. Elmore Leonard reveals some rules about good writing he has picked up along the way, mainly geared towards fiction. Well worth a read.

Stumble it!
