(Thanks to Flo Stanton for tonight's topic.)
If you've been around writing for a while, you've heard all the "rules": write what you know, show don't tell, write every day, etc. But are these really rules, or just guidelines?
Writer's Digest asked 10 experienced writers to take on these rules. They agree, disagree, and sometimes do both at the same time.
Check out their thoughts here, http://www.writersdigest.com/whats-new/writing-rules-10-experts-take-on-the-writers-rulebook?et_mid=538945&rid=3037706 , then come to chat tonight and we'll debate them some more.
Join us tonight to discuss the Writer's Rulebook for the first hour. We'll take any other questions you may have in the second hour. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
