Elmore Leonard quotes about
annoying prologue introduction
Avoid Prologues. They can be annoying, especially a prologue following an introduction that comes after a foreword.
waste stories short-story
I still read Hemingway. I still read his short stories because they're so good. He doesn't waste any words.
romantic-love looks too-late
It's like seeing someone for the first time, and you look at each other for a few seconds, and there's this kind of recognition like you both know something. Next moment the person's gone, and it's too late to do anything about it.
