Tolstoy Durden and the Writing Club of Doom

tess's picture

Here stand the rules of Write Club.

  1. Don't think, write.
  2. DON'T THINK, WRITE!
  3. Write now, not tomorrow, not after breakfast, now.
  4. If you can't write, read.
  5. If you can write, read, then write.
  6. Write "with the door closed".
  7. When writing something for the first time, don't look back, don't edit in place.
  8. Edit when you're done writing. That's what a second draft is for.
  9. Always ask what your characters would do, not what you want.
  10. Story is king. Always listen to the king.
