rule #1 reminds me of an interview with David Lynch where he talked about eating the same meal for months on end because the routine allowed his mind to think about other things and be more creative instead of wasting time thinking about what he would eat.

This was the first one where I could agree to all the rules. (I think. I might have missed one or two posts.)

But beeing junk when it is taken out as much as it is when going in, I want to add something: If it is junk, fine, accept it, but if you remember the reason you wrote it, rewrite it to something great.
