Black and white image of "John Steinbeck's 6 Writing Tips" which you can ignore and just write the way you want to write because there are no actual writing rules that apply to everyone.
Another set of #writingrules that applies to part BUT NOT ALL of the #writingcommunity. Take what you like and leave the rest. #writingtips #steinbeck #rulesofwriting #booksky #youdoyou #nooneactuallyknowshowtowrite

If your writing is 'all over the place' then a reader will conclude you are incompetent and not bother to finish your 'stylish' novel.

I have wierd little rules for my writing.
One of them is if MS Word knows what I'm about to say-
If it gives me the tab-to-fill option-
I'm writing something else.
I'll change a whole damn paragraph to make Word cry.
What are your rules?

There is only one rule in writing - it needs to compel the reader to keep turning the pages.

According to 'them' I'm doing it wrong.
No I don't outline before I write my book.
Yes I edit while I'm still writing.
It has worked for me for three full books and I'm now working on my fourth.
Do you break the 'rules' of writing too?

You wouldn't say "between Alice to Bob" so why would you say "between to 80"?
One of my pet peeves awakened while I watched a television commercial.
