What are your tips for writing a juicy post?
Ensure correct comma use. Remember that commas aren't simply inserted whenever one would "take a breath" during dictation of written text (despite the errant, albeit well-meaning, instruction of elementary, high school, and even post-secondary English teachers and professors.) I implore any and all serious writers to read up on commas post-haste, as the pesky piece of punctuation is the most common -- and thus most commonly misused -- grammatical tool in the language. I personally prefer the Chicago Manual of Style, though your choice of style guide may vary. To quote Oscar Wilde, "I spent all morning putting in a comma and all afternoon taking it back out again."
How do you reset to be creative?
You either have it or you don't, man. Like, really? Would you even ask that? You totally would.
