Five Great Quotations about Bad Writing

“…bad writing usually arises from a stubborn refusal to tell stories about what people actually do― to face the fact, let us say, that murderers sometimes help old ladies cross the street.” – Stephen King

“So the writer who breeds more words than he needs, is making a chore for the reader who reads.” – Dr. Seuss

“…all bad writers are in love with the epic.” – Ernest Hemingway

“Tediousness is the most fatal of all faults.” – Samuel Johnson

“…it is harder to make bad writing good than to make good writing better.” – Richelle E. Goodrich
