What are some bits of writing advice/knowledge/etc. you've heard or read that changed the way you look at writing?
This bit from Ray Bradbury's "Zen In the Art of Writing" changed the way I look at paragraphs:
>I've been lecturing at the University of Southern California cinema department for twenty-two years—I go down there a couple of times a year—and various students have come up to me and said, "Can we make films of your short stories?" I say, "Sure, take them. Do it. But there's one restriction I put on you. Shoot the whole story. Just read what I've done and line up the shots by the paragraphs. All the paragraphs are shots. By the way the paragraph reads, you know whether it's a close-up or a long shot."
