They've asked a few famous authors to give ten rules for writing fiction, some responses are really interesting and a few of them had me saying "Oh my god, that's exactly the thing that's been annoying me!".
My favourite is from Philip Pullman:
My main rule is to say no to things like this, which tempt me away from my proper work.
Not exactly helpful, but pretty amusing

I found most of the rules really helpful, I hope somebody else does!
