You already have a million writing books. You know the principles, the lectures, the “expert” techniques. And you’ve discovered that sometimes tried-and-true just equals tired.

  • Burn your journal (See Rule 1.)
  • Strip down to your briefs (See Rule 38.)
  • Spend time gossiping (See Rule 61.)
  • Buy the smoking jacket (See Rule 56.)
  • Skip the Starbucks (See Rule 7.)
