Going in style
Back late ’90s as I was learning how to become a pro at video poker during great comp period with some still plus odds games, I’d run across retired English teacher Jean Scott, famed “Frugal Gambler” both in casinos and on line VP clubs. I drove her nuts with my choice of writing style and also debunked a few of the ways she made bucks selling an associate’s Enrolled Agent’s IRS advice. She did an update in ’17 I’ve not read as am certain my own play has well adapted to what still exists in outlier casinos as Tahoe Harrah’s and Harveys’. Biloxi Harrah’s and Reno Peppermill WITH a interested friendly host to make comp exceptions allowed.
So what really bugged Jean? But my Golden Rule? Same’s R L Stevenson, please self and try to bring fun for all. Then assume reader has working brain; often ” there’s the rub!” 8
“To write well, White advises writers to have the proper mind-set, that they write to please themselves, and that they aim for “one moment of felicity”, a phrase by Robert Louis Stevenson (1850–94).[citation needed] Thus Strunk’s 1918 recommendation:
“Make every word tell”; hence the 17th principle of composition is the simple instruction: “Omit needless words.”

Re: Going in style
So is it “free writing” that you enjoy most. Seems so 2 me. Could have wrote a book. Instead try to inspire a few good folks to make a buck.
