[stylist] Tips For Writing Fiction

[Lynda Lambert]

Here's a good tip from Ring Larder! It does not address your question about 
how to write, but instead what to do with the writing when it's completed. I 
love his humor!

"A good many young writers make the mistake of enclosing a stamped, 
self-addressed envelope, big enough for the manuscript to come back in. This 
is too much of a temptation to the editor."
? Ring Lardner
