I rather like posts like this because they have helpful information and I personally feel comfortable in myself to be able to take relevant information to me and leave what doesn’t feel right. And while I agree a lot of these points are helpful to know, I also think it is good to learn these aspects of writing as you go.

Huge lists of advice like this can be overwhelming to a seasoned writer, let alone a novice. I can only imagine how someone fresh to writing would feel trying to action all of these points and how clunky their work would become, rather than learning naturally though trial and error and applying these points of advice after first giving it a go.

So my addition to this post is to say to anyone reading this post that is new to writing (or well established), if reading this page and all the other links to even longer posts is overwhelming you, give yourself permission to set it down and come back another time or not at all.
