OT - Ten Rules for Writing Fiction

2010-02-21 Thread Bruce Walker
Remember: when people tell you something's wrong or doesn't work for 
them, they are almost always right. When they tell you exactly what they 
think is wrong and how to fix it, they are almost always wrong.

--Neil Gaiman

Never ride a bike with the brakes on.
--Geoff Dyer

You see more sitting still than chasing after.
--Jonathan Franzen

Never complain of being misunderstood. You can choose to be understood, 
or you can choose not to.

Noticed that Margaret Atwood is one of the writers giving advice. Has
anyone on the list read her Year of the flood?
I'm wondering whether to put it on my reading list.
