One thing I love is reading slightly less ‘classic’ books by classic writers. ‘The Beautiful and Damned’ for example, shows a different side of Fitzgerald’s writing than ‘The Great Gatsby’ — it makes a really interesting contrast to just reading the books in the ‘canon’

I need to read more classics. The only one I’ve managed to take in on this list is As I Lay Dying. It’s been forever since I’ve read that even. Nice post.

[...] In our minds, tragedy authenticates talent. We roll an envious eye at Hemingway’s suicide, Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald’s tear-and-alcohol stained romance, and Flannery O’Connor’s terminal illness. Perhaps it is because we secretly long to be [...]

I’m the same! Often, I find it refreshing to do different types of writing. If I get bogged down in my book sometimes writing a snappy blog post boosts my spirits and confidence, and exercises a different writing muscle. But I would probably hesitate to take on two full-scale projects at once. There will always been main and subsidiary.

I love #10 and #11. Though I tend to violate #1. I like to work on multiple projects and switch off when I get exhausted by one.

A great set of guidelines, or rules, okay commandments! I especially liked # 9 as I’m sure many writers have many stories swishing around their heads at once, but you have to concentrate on the one you’re writing or you’ll end up with a bunch of half finished projects.
