There's some good stuff here, Paul. The one that really chimed with me was no.1 from David Mitchell, author of Cloud Atlas: “You probably have time to be a halfway decent parent and one other thing.”

Although I'm not sure where that leaves my wife o_O.
 
Encouraging read, impossible in places (neglect everything else and still get bills paid?). I liked this from Neil Gaiman:

“There are no rules. Only: can you do this with confidence? Can you do it with aplomb? Can you do it with style? Can you do it with joy?”

I love this quote.

I’m grateful that for writing, we can make our own rules, and mine would be:
I want to write with keen curiosity, humble honesty, with conscious contemplation and with endless enthusiasm.

Ooh, threadjack! I like it ;)

My rules, perhaps unfashionably among the literati, would be:

Make it entertaining. Keep 'em turning pages!
 
Oh, I'd borrow Sea-shore's rules. To which I'd add: patience.

'I want to write with keen curiosity, humble honesty, with conscious contemplation and with endless enthusiasm.'

Curiosity and patience, especially when you reach draft #15.
