I agree with MIKE above.

I am going to quote Einstein again, “Make everything as simple as possible, but not simpler.”

Speaking of hackneyed, there is an INCREDIBLY hacneyed list of “writing tips”: this is, in essence, “Writing 101 for People Not Really Interested in Learning Much About Writing But Interested In Feeling Like They Are”. First of all, these “tips” are so badly over-used (passive voice, for example) that they over-simplify the complex form of art that is “writing”. Second of all, the Hemingway-thing. This is SO over-cited it’s laughable. What Hemingway was doing WAS NOT GETTING RID OF ADJECTIVES, he was using an editing technique that was meant to teach the writer to edit out 7/8′s of what he wrote (sometimes called the iceberg theory). Though adjectives and adverbs often fell to the side, what really fell to the side was the “editorial voice” (which, btw, is THE voice of blogging). It also meant that for any piece of writing, 7xwhat you finished wouldn’t appear. Don’t reference Hemingway while teaching bloggers how to write: he would have absolutely HATED the blogging voice, adjectives or no.

This entry is really, really poorly informed and SO incredibly generic (You might even say full of “lifeless content”….) that it does more to mislead writers than educate them. I know lists are important to bloggers, but seriously: if you are going to write lists (which are surely blogging’s most hackneyed form), at LEAST write a list that is both knowledgeable and…..NEW.

Though apparently the “need for invention” is a minor part of “art”.
