I haven't had the time to look at this completely, but it is fun. Basically, it started as a discussion thread and has been cleaned up and organized. Enjoy!
A scrupulous writer, in every sentence that he writes, will ask himself at least four questions, thus: 1. What am I trying to say? 2. What words will express it? 3. What image or idiom will make it clearer? 4. Is this image fresh enough to have an effect?
