The Moose Commandments of Writing
As told by God to Moose:
1. Thou Shalt Not Write that which is Incomprehensible to the Reader by the sin of Piss-Poor Grammar and Spelling.
2. Thou Shalt Not Confuse the Reader.
3. Thou Shalt Not Bore the Reader to Fucking Tears.
4. Thou Shalt Listen to Thy Writer's Gut and do unto thy WIP whatsoever Thy Gut Recommendeth.
5. Thou Shalt Not follow blindly the Writing Advice of the False Experts, nor butcher thy WIP to suit their advice.
6. Thou Shalt seek Criticism with humility. Be not puffed up of thy perceived greatness, for such is False.
7. Thou Shalt apply the Criticism of which thy Gut approves only, for all other Criticism is False and Not Applicable.
8. Thou Shalt Gracious and Thankful of all Criticism. Argue not with the Criticism, yea even be it False or Not Applicable.
9. Thou Shalt Read Books and Write Often.
10. Thou Shalt Strive to be better and Improve thy writing, for Laziness doth offend the Lord.
So has Moose said. So it is written. Now, go forth and multiply thy Wordcount. Amen.
