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.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You can't write just anything. Your story needs structure.
If you want to write, write it. That's the first rule. And send it in, and send it in to someone who can publish it or get it published. Don't send it to me. Don't show it to your spouse, or your significant other, or your parents, or somebody. They're not going to publish it.
This is not necessarily the answer people want, but ultimately, I think writing is an amoral process. Your ultimate responsibility is to the truth of the story you're trying to tell.
I write a story as if it were a letter to someone and essentially, that's what you do.
There are three rules for writing a novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.
I think, as writers, our first responsibility is to writing an honest story. Tell the story you want to tell, without pulling your punches.
Find the story you want to tell. If you don't want to write it, find somebody to write it.
Everyone has a story to tell. All you have to do is write it. But it's not that easy.
Write the kind of story you would like to read. People will give you all sorts of advice about writing, but if you are not writing something you like, no one else will like it either.
So I'll write it, and then I'll find out that I actually wrote something that is utterly useless. You can't use it in the story and it doesn't fit. So I just throw it away. I've done that countless times.
