There are so many different kinds of writing and so many ways to work that the only rule is this: Do what works. Almost everything has been tried and found to succeed for somebody. The methods, even the ideas, of successful writers contradict each other in a most heartening way, and the only element I find common to all successful writers is persistence—an overwhelming determination to succeed…. They will not be thrust aside!
