Always trust your instinct.

Kurt Vonnegut's short story tips:

1) Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.

2) Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.

3) Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.

4) Every sentence must do one of two things–reveal character or advance the action.

5) Start as close to the end as possible.

6) Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them–in order that the reader may see what they are made of.

7) Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.

8) Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To heck with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.

Never blow someone else's trumpet.

I disagree. Blowing someone else's trumpet is how I got my first job!


When you really want to slap someone, just do it and yell, 'mosquito!'.

It's a bad risk to accept a displeasing present and just hope for a better future.

Can't disagree to that, right to the point.

2) Don't miss the donut by looking through the hole...
3) Anything worth doing is worth over-doing...
4) Don't learn from other people's mistake... That's just being lazy... Learn from your own..

Don't do same mistake many time.

Do mushrooms

"Shrooms" you mean? Or panned up in the oven and slowly roasted with bacon?

Both!

Don't let a day go by without making somebody laugh - even if it's only yourself.

...how else would I survive a regular working day?

Tell the people you love, that you love them, not matter how awkward it maybe. Life needs more love.
