I found Neil's rules for writing fiction really interesting. I wrote about them here.

Why not write about them here?

I noticed there's a lot of writers that don't follow those rules. I've been reading between the lines lately.

I also wondered about travel. Neil is always on the road. Doesn't that take away from his writing time? Not that I don't appreciate his touring. I'd love for him to come to my town, but that uses up his precious time. Time is a writer's most valuable asset, isn't it? That's what J.K. Rowling said.
