cachivachero Nietzsche: Ten commandments for writing style Maestro Evil Charter
Given the tiny production of junk (or rather lack of time to describe), I put another decalogue serve as a guideline for anyone who is thrown into the adventure of writing. This time its creator is Nietzsche, who, like Quiroga, took the liberty to leave us these commandments (apart from another set of "anti-commandments" which I also recommend reading). Anyway, here it is: Friday, November 26, 2010

I - What matters most is the life style to live.
II - The style should be appropriate to your person, depending on a particular person to whom you communicate your thoughts.
III - Before taking the pen, you have to know exactly how to express out loud what you have to say. Writing should be only an imitation.
IV - writer is far from possessing all the means of the speaker. Should therefore draw on a very expressive form of speech. Your written reflection anyway look a lot better off than their model.
V - The richness of life is reflected by the wealth of gestures. We must learn to consider everything as a gesture: the length and the caesura of sentences, punctuation, breathing, also the choice of words, and the succession of the arguments.
VI - Beware of the period. Entitled to it only those with very long breath talking. For the most part, the period is just an affectation.
VII - The style should show you believe in your thoughts, think not only that, but that feels.
VIII - The more abstract the truth you want to teach, the more important it is to converge all senses of the reader.
IX - The touch of good prose in their choice of media is to approach the poetry to touch her, but never cross the boundary that separates them.
X - It is not wise or clever to deprive the reader of his refutations easier it is very sensible and very clever, by contrast, leave the care to make himself the last word of our wisdom.
