Justin Taylor had a fantastic post today full of great quotes from C.S. Lewis on the subject of writing. You can read his post HERE
or if you don't have time to read what is there, then here is my all-time favorite quote from Lewis on writing (I have lots of favorite quotes from my "Uncle Lewis" on several different subjects):
Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say “infinitely” when you mean “very”; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
I happen to LOVE big words, so it is a reminder to me to choose my words wisely when writing. :)
