Writing Rules

As a writer/author/whatever, I feel like I should have rules that I follow/pass on/FAQtualize. "Everybody else is doing it."

Thing is, I don't have rules. If I were to offer writing advice, it'd be: Make it interesting. However you go about doing that... that's voice. Don't let all the noise interfere with the signal (that's lost voice). Fuck a lot of women (Nope, that's Little Miss Sunshine) Drink a lot of wine (yuk!)...

Honestly, though, be honest with your characters. Put them through hell so they know what heaven is, but don't let them float w/ the angels too long. Or sleep with them.

Weird post over.
