Ask a writer.

[Thumpalumpacus]

I'm unsure how "principles" automatically become "bullshit". Care to expand upon that connection?

I write without incumbrance.  I write outside of the rules of writing that others follow.

I wasn't asking about rules others follow. I was asking if you had three principles you follow.

There's a bit of a difference. You could have, you know, stumbled across them yourself?
