I’m back from a week away and my workload is overflowing so for a quick blog this week, I thought to draw attention to a brilliant ‘rant’ on the often abused word ‘was’ and the mistaken disuse of so-called passive voice. Incidentally, the ‘rule’ on passive in the UK is not to overuse, but no one EVER tells a writer to eliminate it here precisely for these reasons: http://pcwrede.com/blog/misunderstanding-grammar/

I can speak of my own criterion for judging whether or not a book is good or bad. I ask of it a single question, from how deep and true an impulse did it spring? Was it written merely to shock? Only to make money? Or was it written to create something.
