Randy’s
Rules for Writing
1. As simple as possible,
and then simpler.
2. “In every case the
effect must be vivid, instantaneous and unmistakable.”
The
first rule has been my goal/guidance for many years. The spirit of the second
rule has also been with me for years but I hadn’t the words until I found them
in a book, Vaudeville, written in 1914 by Caroline Caffin (with artwork
by Marius de Zayas). She is setting the parameters for a successful stage performance,
but they are also essential to my art.

A change
After posting new
material on my blog every Saturday for nearly 120 consecutive Saturdays, I’ve
decided to quit before it becomes a habit. Not quit, really, just scale back. My
original idea was that the blog would be a try-out space for my writing, the
way a comedian might try out new material in a club, but the concept was seldom
realized. Because my ebooks do my all my talking for me when it comes to art, I’m
going to concentrate on book projects. I'll continue to blog, but randomly.
Information about my books can be found here.
