Reading most of this advice for the first time, it is both interesting and validating to see many of the recommendations align with what I've already noticed in my own work and adapted to consider.

Even in isolation people gravitate towards the same ideas.

"The audience will always be held when a status is being modified."

Whoa. This is a very neat trick.

The whole book it's great beyond doing Impro, or writing. Can't recommend it highly enough.
ripe•3mo ago
Excellent compendium! Thanks for writing this up.

Suggestion: separate out the fiction writing advice from the nonfiction. Today they're mixed together, and their audiences are often non-overlapping.
