A passel of famous writers give their "Ten rules for writing fiction." A few authors try to cheat by giving us less than ten rules. Hey Neil Gaiman, you owe me two rules!
Most of the advice seems sensible. I particularly like this one from David Hare: "Write only when you have something to say." Though I suppose this blog, by its very existence, flagrantly breaks that rule.
Also note these words of wisdom from Michael Moorcock: "ead. Read everything you can lay hands on." Does that mean I have to read "The Da Vinci Code?" If it does, I'd rather go through life illiterate.
