My favorite rule is this: Jenna Park, 5 Rules for Writing without Apology, #2 - Write what matters to you, not for an audience. It addresses a new bugaboo that creeping into my brain as I plan and post my Substack. It's easy to get caught up in what people might read or what might attract them to the page. So, that a reminder to put on my desktop. Thank you Nishant.
One of the rules I have for myself is to regularly sketch with ink because an eraser is a crutch. It has helped me loosen up and not care so much about perfection or accuracy.
Nishant, your rules are such an inspiration and are currently hanging over my desk! And I love the curated selection of favorite rules from each contributor here 🧡
Luv the ideas presented - wouldn't 'it be luv' if 'it' could be captured in 5 rules, 50 rules, or even 500 rules - it is said the ancient Israel's law code had a law per human bone, 613, 365 negative and 248 positive - in my home Canada the number is something so complex they haven't been counted - cross correlating Carolyn's list is a dream come true for planners and sketchers who dream and sociologists who study creatives - but I'm gone buck the trend and shift the decimal and try a poet's rule of the order 0.5...

Wonderful, Rebecca. That's how I started using a pen too, and it has helped me so much.
Thank you for the kind mention and everything you shared here!!!

Yay so glad to hear you liked them, and I hope they lead you to make lots of sneaky art too!
This was such a cool and collaborative project that I was glad to be a part of, and I love that you took the time to reflect on each one.
