Four little rules for all who work with horses.
Up hill spare me,
Down hill ’ware me,
On level ground spare me not,
And in the stable forget me not.
Tie Off Your Paragraphs
How can a writer tell when to start a new paragraph? Put the question another way — ‘How can a writer tell when a paragraph is completed?’ If a writer knows what he is doing, he does not stop to think about it. He can feel that he has presented to the reader all that he is communicating in that one section, and is ready to pass on to the next section.
