Excellent advice Allcreator. Ihave noted tthat much of your writing inspires like this as well as many other means. I liked these lines in particular in this poem my friend:
"Write a simple, soft, symphonic word
Utter everything free of a hard, harsh, obsolete word . . .
Bless you. : ) Bob

Comment from Marjon van Bruggen
What can a reviewer say to this "Note To Self", the art of good writing?
Well, first of all: I read it all very carefully. Then I made a copy and placed it on my desk, at the right-hand side of my laptop. Why? Because I want to use it as a reference for my future writing. Not that I am a novice; I think I wrote my whole life. Stories, poems in different forms, until I found that I am best in free-verse poetry and found my own recognizable style.
I recognized that I follow most of the mentioned rules for good writing automatically, by instinct or intuition. English not being my native language, I may misuse some words occasionally, but never intentionally and certainly never to offend anyone.
I consider my ability to write poetry a gift from God, and therefore, an obligation to use my words in the best and most positive way possible to be worthy of His gift.
I like your paragraph where you say: "...writing as if speaking to Almighty, Omnipresent God."
I consider that I have to learn that lesson more profoundly.
Thank you for posting this piece. I joined FanStory only in January, so I did not read it before.

I am impressed with the author mainly advice to all on how to write authentic work. Make it it ethical and free for all kinds of audience.
The writer has a relationship with God and he refers to all aspects of writing as if doing it for the creator God.

I like this one, and enjoyed reading it as a Note to Self. It's ag good set of guidelines. As a list of general recommendations to writers I mostly agree. There are points we might discuss, but part of a writer's job is to promote communication and mindwork which you have done well here. Good job.

Some interesting thoughts. Publish nothing for self satisfaction? Disagree.
"protect man's right 'for' information would go better and to match" for freedom".
The rest sounds like all your ideas on how to write better which may conflict with some authors.
Original work though.

This is quite a list for writers to adhere to. Each one very important. A writer should stay humble, true to themselves. It's very well-written, knowledgeable, a helpful piece. Thank you for sharing it with us.

What a beautiful piece of writing! So thoughtful, so true and so powerfully expressed. It is rare to read the literature with the qualities mentioned in the poem. I am happy to read one such poem. Thanks for sharing.

The author's words were thought provoking, clear and creative.
I enjoy the read of this poem (the title is perfect!) The theme
and words of this poem are a gentle reminder of doing God's Will.
The format and artwork compliment this poem well.

Certainly you have thrown down a list of things to do for we who aspire to write higher. You covered the waterfront of writing with near bullet-point detail. Thanks - I'll keep it in mind.
