Clarity

Read Revelations 16-18

Revelation 17:8 "The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is."

Even if we are not writing directions we will want to make sure our writing has clarity. Anyone who reads what we have written should be able to understand what we are trying to say.

We will want to make sure our subject and verb agree and to keep our sentences straightforward. Any modifiers should be closest to what they are modifying to prevent unintended humor.

Our fiction especially needs to be written clearly. Confused readers will not only not finish our stories, they will not purchase anything else from us and recommend their friends do the same.
