Elmore Leonard (”Be Cool”, “Get Shorty”, “Outtasight”, among others) has written a New York Times essay on his 10 rules on writing.

“Being a good author is a disappearing act,” he says. The rules are not for those who love the sound of their own voices, but for those who want to “show rather than tell what’s taking place in the story.”

Now, I don’t pretend to be a writer — and even if I was, I’m sure not a good one — but Leonard’s tips, like his writing, are easy enough to understand and follow.

And what is “hoopteddoodle”, you ask? Let Steinbeck tell you.
