Here's a link to a letter C.S. Lewis wrote to a girl, in which can be found (in my opinion) some helpful writing advice...plus if you're as much a fan of Lewis as I am, you'll enjoy reading it anyway! :dieshappy: Here's the article finally.

Good! Yeah, I agree, I could totally tell Lewis was the one that wrote it! :dieshappy: One of my favorite parts: "of course there are no right or wrong answers about language in the sense in which there are right and wrong answers in Arithmetic. “Good English” is whatever educated people talk; so that what is good in one place or time would not be so in another."

Thanks for sharing, Wolf. :)

Very cool and very helpful since I'm writing at the moment :cool:


Awesome, I'm glad it's helpful. :cool: It is amazing how simply Lewis puts things, and how basic this advice is, I should probably read it right before I do writing. ;)
