SQL because it is declarative, maths because it is truth, algorithms because they are blueprints and graphics because it can be anything.

How does the 10,000 hour rule apply to writing? 10,000 hours is 5 years of 8 hour working days, working 5 days a week, with no annual leave, but observing holidays. If you 'practice' anything for that long you should be an expert in it. Also, I would say that it already varies wildly only on the approach to these 10,000 hours how effective they will be. |

What literary techniques are evident in this quote? @Craig Sefton, thanks, learned something. Still :), that particular example you should remove: 1) see more precise requirements in poetry en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alliterative_verse#Alliteration 2) stress is on ik-spoh-zher not ik-spoh-zher 3) suhn-ee does not alliterate with ik-spoh-zher |

What literary techniques are evident in this quote? @Craig Sefton, reference? (are you sure you are not thinking about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Literary_consonance) |

What literary techniques are evident in this quote? @Craig Sefton, exactly: '-sure' portion is not at the beginning, which is requirement for alliteration. |

What literary techniques are evident in this quote? def: Repeating the same letter or sound at the beginning of adjacent or closely connected words - therefore "ex-po-sure" does not qualify; you might also check out assonance |

How can I make a story bigger? I think you first need to answer two things 1) Why are you aiming for 50-70k words? 2) Why 30k is not enough? |
