Now for an obvious but hugely important writing rule that will save you all kinds of headaches and heartaches: #4. Think before you write. Duh. You knew that. And so did I, sort of…the trick here is that I don’t just mean think about what you’re going to write before you write it, whether it’s a text or a story. We all do that anyway. What I mean is that you should think really hard about what you’re going to say, how you’re going to say it, whether you even need to say/write it, how you’re going to organize this particular piece of writing. All that good and difficult stuff.
