Fazer de adjetivos substantivos quando só se sofrer a qualidade
ler tirando o excesso de adjetivos brilhantes
ler tirando as palavras modernas, as soluções modernas, os modismos, as repetições que indicam processos fáceis
se puder em alguns casos, deixar os fatos indicativos, tirando a idéia
retirar paradoxos, pensamentos complicado-facil
modificar frases excessivamente ricas
"o presente e o imperfeito são os únicos tempos nobres do romance"
tirar os brinquedos, o tom falsamente inocente. Tudo é sério.
Tirar os "como" de analogia: a coisa é o que ela simboliza.
Fazer diálogos vazios e vulgares entre as pessoas
não fazer dos outros personagens bonecos: surgem pouco mas dão impressão de vida e profundeza
apagar todos os vestígios de qualquer processo - não explorar senão de modo diferente os achados
espalhar mais ela-não-sabia-que-pensava
espalhar a vulgaridade dela em várias cenas

Bukowski
Style is the answer to everything.
A fresh way to approach a dull or dangerous thing
To do a dull thing with style is preferable to doing a dangerous thing without it
To do a dangerous thing with style is what I call art
Bullfighting can be an art
Boxing can be an art
Loving can be an art
Opening a can of sardines can be an art
Not many have style
Not many can keep style
I have seen dogs with more style than men,
although not many dogs have style.
Cats have it with abundance.
When Hemingway put his brains to the wall with a shotgun,
that was style.
Or sometimes people give you style
Joan of Arc had style
John the Baptist
Jesus
Socrates
Caesar
García Lorca.
I have met men in jail with style.
I have met more men in jail with style than men out of jail.
Style is the difference, a way of doing, a way of being done.
Six herons standing quietly in a pool of water,
or you, naked, walking out of the bathroom without seeing me.
