Once you are a proper, serious law-maker, you can't break the laws you're writing.

And sometimes you have to go above the written law, I believe.

Written laws are like spiders' webs, and will, like them, only entangle and hold the poor and weak, while the rich and powerful will easily break through them.

I don't just write letters. I write laws.

I remember thinking during those times that I wanted to write in a way where there are no rules.

One writes what one can, or has to, write.

The correctness and quality of what you write do not matter; the act of writing does.

There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.

Write your story as it needs to be written. Write it honestly, and tell it as best you can. I'm not sure that there are any other rules. Not ones that matter.

The real trouble with the writing game is that no general rule can be worked out for uniform guidance, and this applies to sales as well as to writing.
