The List

After a few seconds of arguing with myself, I've decided to compile my own personal writing rules in case a poor sap not unlike myself decides to wander here.

Never write a prologue.

Write one anyways.

Read a shit ton of books.

Watch a shit ton of films.

Draw every single day.

Write every single day.

Be compulsive in saving and dating everything you write.

Keep a bible of your fiction.

Take a walk once in a while.

Make sure to get lots and lots of sleep.

Listen to non-lyrical music on repeat.

Don't keep a daily word count.

Don’t show anyone your work until you’re finished.

Unless you’re drunk.

Don’t edit your own work.

Don’t be pretentious.

Don’t write about writing.

Don’t talk about writing.

Don’t do everything in order.

Don't follow any rules.

Have fun.
