    Thumbs up 10 rules for writing fiction

    found this link on Gaiman's blog and it is most excellent. I like Elmore Leonard's 10 the best.

    February 23rd, Bryan, and I didn't think you needed a weatherman to tell you which way the wind blows.

    Long days and pleasant nights

    I know I have some of these things in my novel. I'll have to edit them out. Great find!
