Glow Bone Work Gloves

Legendary columnist Diana McLellan was kind enough to send me a link to this virtual repository of Star writers from the glory years gone by.
McLellan's moved on to bigger and better things and is now an inventor, with her (hopefully) forthcoming Topiary Topper (below, with its creator)
likely to make an immediate impact on trash storage everywhere.

Elmore Leonard's 10 Rules of Writing
1. Never open a book with weather.
2. Avoid prologues
3. Never use a verb other than "said" to carry dialogue.
4. Never use an adverb to modify the verb "said."
5. Keep your exclamation points under control.
6. Never use the words "suddenly" or "all hell broke loose."
7. Use regional dialect, patois, sparingly.
8. Avoid detailed descriptions of characters.
9. Don't go into great detail describing places and things.
10. Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip.
Leonard added, "My most important rule is one that sums up the 10: If it sounds like writing, I rewrite it."
