    Summary

    Most general writing advice is, at best, functional but woefully limited, and, at worst, too narrow and more reflective of personal predilections or biases to be of any use. It does not help that so little people have the vocabulary to analyse prose on a technical level.

    Rather than provide literary prescriptions, I shall instead proffer this personal repository of prose analyses of various writers that I think are pretty neat. This is both a writer's notebook and a mini-course in prose.

    One needs no gurus to advise you on how to write. The best way is, always, to turn to the works of those you deem masters, judge what is on the page, and apply it to your own style.
