Spirit of Writing

"If you wish to be brief, first prune away those devices that contribute to an elaborate style; let the entire theme be confined within narrow limits. Do not be concerned about verbs; rather, write down with the pen of the mind only the nouns....follow, as it were, the technique of the metal worker. Transfer the ironof material, refined in the fire of the understanding, to the anvil of study. Let the hammer of intellect make it pliable; let repeated blows of the hammer fashion from the unformed mass the most suitable words. Let the bellows of the mind afterwards fuse those words, adding other to accompany them, fusing nouns and verbs, and verbs with nouns, to express the whole theme. The glory of brief work consists in thi; it sayas nothing either more or less than it fitting."


Geofrey De Vinsauf (Poetria Nova or The New Poetics)

Can I suggest that you centre the group image at the bottom? You can do this using http://www.steemstyle.com

I love that you are working with the photos of other group members! Though I should mention that if your image has never before been seen online, the chances of a higher payout are better. So it helps if you take the pictures yourself.

Yes, thank you for advice. I will do it for my next posting. :)
