Stuff we do wrong--The Turkey City Lexicon

Haggis · Mar 4, 2008

Things like:

Roget's Disease
The ludicrous overuse of far-fetched adjectives, piled into a festering, fungal, tenebrous, troglodytic, ichorous, leprous, synonymic heap. (Attr. John W. Campbell)

In case you haven't seen the Lexicon before, you might want to click this link. It was put together for SF writers, but since when can't horror writers steal something if it can help make their writing better?

Hmmm... I wonder if he wrote this three words at a time?
