My dad used to say if you wanted to write an article for a newspaper you had to use the who what when where why principle. These fundamental questions are also the basis of fiction. You must interrogate your characters – they must live in a recognisable world.

Can one state definitive rules for writing? Sometimes yes. I wrote about some in a recent blog post. https://t.co/bQWKgL2TaO . . . #rulesforwriting #jamesbaldwin #baldwinsrule #quotes #writing… https://t.co/56vmMAWD9o

Kym's #RulesForWriting: 1. Throw in some dinosaurs. People love dinosaurs. 2. Characters usually need a name. 3. Devote an entire chapter to the main character eating a hot dog. 4. People also love robots... Maybe have a robot dinosaur. 5. Use the word 'moist' liberally.

What attracts readers to a book? The quality of the writing (technical competence) or the quality of storytelling, (character building, plot, dialogue etc) #whatreaderswant #rulesforwriting #authors #books #grammar #writing #rules #freedomofexpression #storytelling
