GuyJD,

It was supposed to be ten commandments. I think slipping in the last one was dangerous enough.

Further commandments

You should've added proper spelling, since you got "commandments" wrong, but anyway...

The usual advice most writers get is:

Write what you know.

Write every day.

Kill your little darlings.

There's another one, but it slips my mind! Uh oh!

 

[Whispersecret]

Read.

 

[Ulyssa]

Not to mention...

Thou shalt learn from thy reading!

 

[Rrrosyn]

Read to write

Very good points.



Hopefully, from great artists we will learn to create great art. Never forget, no matter how painful, we must read past works and learn from our mistakes.

Gee. I would fix that, but I won't confuse a discussion further.

I can spell. I can't type.

the spelling

Let your wetness rule your writting not your mind !

Re: Further commandments

Write what you know.

If I wrote what I know, I wouldn't be here. *giggle*

Not changing the spelling. May others learn from my errors.

So I'll add:

If you copy/paste anything be especially careful of spelling and other errors. You can make one error look like several, otherwise.

I think I stop to chat. *giggle* I need to cool down between paragraphs, maybe I should chat in S&A for a while. LMAO Why doesn't that ever work?

The stories that make me really hot are the ones I intend to enact. Self-stimulated foreplay.
