Five elementary techniques from the arsenal of writers

Hello everyone.
Twitter has long been used by a good half of Habr. I, the fossil, today find out that the number of letters in each message is strictly limited. A short help is born in my head, which I hasten to share. For the commonplace just pass by)

1. The keyword is always put at the end of a phrase.
In the Russian language there is no rigid system for fixing words, and even on paper there is an amazing freedom of intonation. Highlight a keyword with an emoticon, title, or zipper is sometimes fun. But putting it at the end of the phrase is so natural :)
something strange:
bad this advice is never useful to me
probably cool:
NEVER this bad advice is useful to me
natural:
this advice is bad and it will never be useful to me

2. Do not hang a sign labeled “tree” on each tree.
Cross out a long and boring explanation, without which everything is understandable. No one likes being mistaken for an idiot.
it was natural, and it became:
bad advice, I do not need
')
3. Affirmation is always stronger than denial!
Is always! Do not fight :) with this pattern of our psyche, use it!
was like above, and now:
bad advice, I will use another

4. Use simple comparisons and exaggerations.
was as above, and it became:
the advice is terrible, I will use another

5. Translate verbs now .
The action takes place right now, at the moment, in the head of the reader ...
was like above, and now:
the advice is terrible, I use others

I summarize, and on Twitter:
It was:
bad this article is never useful to me
It became:
The article is great! I advise everyone you meet!

PS
I read the book by Yuri Nikitin "How to become a writer")

UPD: they say it would be better to read Sergey Lukyanenko "How to become a pacemaker")
UPD: and even better - Stephen King “How to write books”
UPD: and how to write an article in Twitter
UPD: on the advice of ctrlok removed 317 extra letters - all honestly
