Having to explain strange words I'd learned while reading Dean Koontz... a homosexual. I fancied myself a man of few words (despite the fact that I was a natural writer--figure that one out), a quiet type, and my demeanor reflected that. The rebellious, chatty, expressive boy...

John Keegan and David Irving

..., bravely, refused these terms. The defamation lawsuit of 1998 was Irving's attempt to suppress academic speech: he wanted to force a fellow historian to withdraw her work of history. This point is important ... is that there are really two Irvings. There is Irving the researcher and most of Irving the writer, who sticks to the facts and makes eloquent sense of them. Then there is Irving the thinker...

I totally thought that Rossi was texting while... and edited the scene really seemed to stress that he should look monstrous.

Beautiful Night 8

*Sephiroth sighs* I'm taking up donations to move to another fanfic writer's mind. Anyone feeling generous? It was a long, hard road from what had happened. Phi went on, day ...’s condition, plus the fact that the larger man didn’t want to break the silence with his own mundane speech patterns. There was a certain peace in silence that they shared during those times that Vlad never got during any ...

Writing Guide: Little Qualifiers

We could probably all benefit from cutting some of these out of our speech, not just our writing. :X I'm guilty. LITTLE QUALIFIERS. Prune out the small words that qualify how you ... point is one of authority. Every little qualifier whittles away some fraction of the reader's trust.

Frank Iero vs. The Secret Service

... in the first place. Iero says he's not sure who it was, but opines that it was a British writer who contacted the Office of Homeland Security looking for a comment. Clearly, Iero could've turned the whole thing into a massively public freedom-of-speech argument; now, he's just happy the whole thing is behind him. "I'm married and I want to have ...
