“Write freely and as rapidly as possible and throw the whole thing on paper. Never correct or rewrite until the whole thing is down.

“Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say “infinitely” when you mean “very;” otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.” (C.S. Lewis)
