DON'T DRESS UP YOUR VOCABULARY: "One of the really bad thing you can do is looking for long words because you’re maybe a little bit ashamed of your short ones.

To put it another way, they’re like dandelions. If you have one on your lawn, it looks pretty and unique. If you fail to root it out, however, you find five the next day…fifty the day after that…and then, your lawn is totally, completely, and profligately covered with dandelions. By then you see them for the weeds they really are, but by then it’s — GASP!! — too late.” -Stephen King, READ A LOT AND WRITE A LOT: “One learns most clearly what not to do by reading bad prose.

I accept them but I don't embrace them. What I would embrace is 'Freddie and Myra carried the body out of the kitchen and laid it on the parlor sofa.'" -Stephen King,
