Love..

..this blog: Hyperbole and a Half.
The things a person can do with MS Paint.

My favourite is the Alot.

Keeping in mind that rules are made to be broken

Do not put statements in the negative form.
And don't start sentences with a conjunction.
If you reread your work, you will find on rereading that a
great deal of repetition can be avoided by rereading and editing.
Never use a long word when a diminutive one will do.
Unqualified superlatives are the worst of all.
De-accession euphemisms.
If any word is improper at the end of a sentence, a linking verb is.
Avoid trendy locutions that sound flaky.
Last, but not least, avoid cliches like the plague.

~William Safire, "Great Rules of Writing"

Oh Gods of the Query Letter, please help me to avoid...

...ever appearing on this blog.

Luckily (or not?) I have a long way to go before even the possibility of that arises.

So how 'bout those words... that deadline is fast approaching.
