the first rule of writing is that there are no rules. the second rule is to save your work every 5 minutes because technology is a fickle god.
Sometimes writing is setting your fingers on fire trying to keep up with what your brain is creating.
...Then sometimes it's banging your head against the keyboard and hoping the result is better than what's on the page.
I wish all my writers a happy new year. May all your stories finally be written, sentences be completed, emotions be evoked with beautifully crafted words, readers be moved to tears, the urge to create be satisfied.
