Kurt Vonnegut's 8 rules for writing:
1. Use the time of a total stranger in such a way that he or she will not feel the time was wasted.
2. Give the reader at least one character he or she can root for.
3. Every character should want something, even if it is only a glass of water.
4. Every sentence must do one of two things—reveal character or advance the action.
5. Start as close to the end as possible.
6. Be a sadist. No matter how sweet and innocent your leading characters, make awful things happen to them-in order that the reader may see what they are made of.
7. Write to please just one person. If you open a window and make love to the world, so to speak, your story will get pneumonia.
8. Give your readers as much information as possible as soon as possible. To hell with suspense. Readers should have such complete understanding of what is going on, where and why, that they could finish the story themselves, should cockroaches eat the last few pages.
@picardonhealth I walked the full length of every street in Montreal over the last five years and managed to get hit by a truck from behind on one of the quietist streets in town. My personal cranky theory? Drivers treat their cars like a personal fiefdom where external laws don’t apply.

@adamm0rgan My novel TUCKED AWAY is coming out from @InannaPub. Daphne blogs about Montreal’s Underground City to lasso in tourists until a chance meeting transforms her from PR hack to madonna of the Underground City, rescuing the tragic souls living in her domain. https://t.co/FlM4FT1LgI
