The three rules of writing:

There are three rules for writing the novel. Unfortunately, no one knows what they are.
~ W. Somerset Maugham

At last, in the most amazing discovery, we have found the three rules for writing. These are courtesy of Andrew. It was part of last night�s homework assignment. As much as he complains about homework, he does get some interesting tasks. Last night�s involved writer vocabulary: prose, poetry, publishing, etc. His assignment, write a paragraph using at least three vocab words:

How to write

1. Don�t let people snoop around you.


2. Submit it to a publishing company.


3. Be ready to be rejected.

Pretty much sums it up, doesn�t it?

Oh, if you�re wondering about that snoop part, that comes from this �thing� I have about people/kids/dogs standing behind me and staring over my shoulder when I write. For some reason, no one understands why this bothers me. Performance typing anyone?
