What is up with the "101 Tips for Writers"? Where'd it go?? Has it been discontinued???

xD I'm not sure if it's ever really existed, actually. It's one of those quirks about the site that members know and love. Although it would be amazing to one day actually come up with those 101 tips, wouldn't it?

"Let's eat, Grandma!" as opposed to "Let's eat Grandma!": punctuation saves lives.

Haha, I know that it appeared in the Young Writers Literary Journal. It's possible Nate took it down for copyright reasoning.

If you want to check out other tips, here's a link to the YWS Knowledge Base, featuring user-generated articles. writing_tips.php

I think it used to exist. In the YWLJ, the first version, there is that list.

I wish Nate would repost it. It was useful.

It most certainly existed - it was likely taken down, as others said, for copyright reasons. The entirety of the list is in the YWLJ, and there are definitely 101 of them - although there are a couple repeats.
