You, Too, Can Write Like Linoge (Part Deux)

There are a number of general tips one needs to understand in order to write like Linoge.


Tip 1: Never write one or two sentences when you can write 30 or 40.


Tip 2: Due to your oppressive evangelical homeschooled upbringing, you are uncomfortable using swear words. But you need to sound like a tough guy. What to do? The answer is to use made-up swear words like "Gorram" or "frakkin.'"

Tip 3: Liberally sprinkle your screed with references to Firefly. Nothing says gravitas like quoting from or making references to a TV show about sci-fi space western that didn't last a season.

Tip 4: Link like crazy; especially to yourself.
