You will need to go to the website for more detail.

Golden Rule #1: Avoid dwelling on past work: get on with it.

Golden Rule #2: Accept rejection gleefully!

Golden Rule #3: Keep track of everything ... everything.

Golden Rule #4: Write about what interests you.

Golden Rule #5: Stare at the wall; drink some coffee; scribble.

Scribbling siblings:

The one that works best pour moi is: write.
Write anything.
Don't think about it.
Brooding constipates the fingers.
Just start putting words on paper, regardless of what you think they are doing there.
Even if you write gibberish, the story will emerge.

I promise.

p.s. I have coined a phrase for a group of writers, along the lines of:
A gaggle of geese.
A pride of lions.
A murder of crows.

Ta Da!

A worry of writers.

:) A scribble of scriveners would work too.

:) These will help! Thanks
