Vigorous writing is concise. A sentence should contain no unnecessary words, a paragraph no unnecessary sentences, for the same reason that a drawing should have no unnecessary lines and a machine no unnecessary parts. This requires not that the writer make all sentences short or avoid all detail and treat subjects only in outline, but that every word tell.

Writing Shift will be closed to new submissions. I hope to begin publishing fiction again in 2011, but for now life has offered me many more tasks than I can juggle at once. Please enjoy the archives and the resource pages. Writing Shift still has much to offer!
