Sabahları ne zaman onun yatakta hareket ettiğini görsem, kalbimde bir sıkışma oluyordu.
Nedense yüzündeki çizgileri ve teninde oluşan koyulukları dikkate almıyordu ve ben onları
gördükçe tiksiniyordum. Bu tiksintimi bilmesine rağmen yine de hiçbir şey yapmadan öylece
duruyordu. Bende, bu davranışına karşı ona kötü davranma isteği oluyordu ve bu dürtülerimi
git gide bastıramamaya başlıyordum.
About Originality
Get into the habit of looking through your dictionary whenever you can, noting in your
journal words you like and word-derivations that are interesting to you.
Start to keep a note of words you hear in conversation, and in everyday life: the
phrases, words and speech patterns people use.
Think about words you particularly like and why. Keep a note of them, where they
derive from, and why you like them. They needn’t be ‘exotic’ words, but perhaps ones
you liked because you heard them used in a surprising context.
Be wary of using large, Latinate or multi-syllabic words gratuitously. Make sure that
such words earn their place in your story. If in doubt, use the shorter, more commonly
used word.
Be wary of using hackneyed terms or phrases, clichés and the types of phrases that are
too familiar.
Plain language, deeply understood, is ample to convey the most sophisticated and complex
meanings. Often ‘ordinary’ words are made vivid and memorable by appearing in
unexpected places, or by being used in surprising ways.
