Mark David Gerson's "Rules" for Living & Writing

Rule #1 (Living): There are no rules: There is no right way. There is no wrong way. There is only your way.
Rule #2 (Living): What works today may not work tomorrow, so you might as well live in the moment.
Rule #3 (Living): Listen to your heart and trust it; it speaks with the voice of God (or whatever you call that divine intelligence we all carry).
Rule #4 (Living): Be vulnerable: Share your pain and your passion. That's what makes you human.
• All 13 Rules for Living

Rule #1 (Writing): There are no rules: How can there be when creativity is all about breaking new ground and breaking old rules?
Rule #2 (Writing): Be in the moment: Focus only on the word you're writing. The next one will come if you don't worry about it.
Rule #3 (Writing): Trust the voice of your Muse without judgment or censorship.
Rule #4 (Writing): Be vulnerable: Write from a place of powerful emotion, especially the one you'd rather not write about.
