Well, one trick of being a writer is the ability to find something interesting in any given topic. Or maybe that's for bloggers... but I think it is a nice experiment in thinking, at any rate.   nondisclosed_email@example.com (Firlefanz)Sun, 29 Mar 2015 07:38:52 +0000 Re: 8 Bogus "Rules" New Writers Tell Each Otherhttps://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p236048,from=rss#post236048https://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p236048,from=rss#post236048Whoops, I'm not clear: I have taken writing classes but this was one I had to take at school so I didn't choose it. My writing teacher did not assign this, the county did. I think that might only make sense to those who live in America? Anyway sorry about that.nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Sat, 28 Mar 2015 08:43:07 +0000 Re: 8 Bogus "Rules" New Writers Tell Each Otherhttps://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p236047,from=rss#post236047https://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p236047,from=rss#post236047Well, at least that writing teacher realized what he/she had done. And it's awesome that you are taking a writing class!!   nondisclosed_email@example.com (Firlefanz)Sat, 28 Mar 2015 08:33:31 +0000 Re: 8 Bogus "Rules" New Writers Tell Each Otherhttps://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p236046,from=rss#post236046https://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p236046,from=rss#post236046quote:I think "write what you love" is a good one. Because that love shows in the story. In my writing class we had to write about mountain-biking which is kind of random and, even worse, we had to write it twice Anyway, my writing teacher said "Reading all of these papers, I can tell none of you care about mountain-biking". So yep if you write about something you love (for me maybe Takeshi's Castle) it is great, if you write about something you dislike (for me maybe sleeping) the story sounds bad (usually).  nondisclosed_email@example.com (Messup434)Sat, 28 Mar 2015 07:10:59 +0000 Re: 8 Bogus "Rules" New Writers Tell Each Otherhttps://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p236026,from=rss#post236026https://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p236026,from=rss#post236026I haven't read that one, no.

I heard the 'was' rule when I was () just starting out and when through and tried to change them all... I finally figured out that it doesn't apply all the time. nondisclosed_email@example.com (tryingtowrite)Thu, 05 Mar 2015 00:12:30 +0000 Re: 8 Bogus "Rules" New Writers Tell Each Otherhttps://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p235985,from=rss#post235985https://bmysticaladventures.runboard.com/p235985,from=rss#post235985Did you ever read "Write, Publish, Repeat"?

Most of which conflict with each other. The only rule that applies is, write.
