Kurt Vonnegut's tips for writing fiction →
Strictly speaking these tips are for novel style writing but they are great tips either way, whether you are writing screenplays, stageplays or anything geared towards entertainment really.
Vonnegut qualifies the list by adding that Flannery O’Connor broke all these rules except the first, and that great writers tend to do that.
