So, this article from The Guardian cracked me up:
Writers’ Top Rules for Writing Fiction
They are diverse in style and content, everything from Richard Ford’s, “Marry someone who loves you who thinks you becoming a writer is a good idea” and “Don’t have children,” to Elmore Leonard’s “Using adverbs is mortal sin,” to Margaret Atwood’s “Take a pencil to write on airplanes.”

Wow. I’ll make sure not to make a shrine to a favorite author who committed suicide. I probably won’t stay away from adverbs. Thank you Margaret Atwood.
