I used this poster in a blog post over a year ago, but I think it's worth sharing again now - especially since I have so many new followers. I love, love, love it.
Is there anything you would add to this list?

No, poetry doesn't have to rhyme (x2!!!).

My favorite is 12 1/2. :)
Its my new favorite poster now.
I love, love, love it! I need one of these in my office or maybe as my background on my desktop so I can see it ALL the time.
It's still as relevant now as it was back then!!! Love it!!!
That was great, especially the try something new.
Great poster! But I disagree with point two. If you've read something a hundred million times of course it's going to bore you! But it will be new and excting to a reader if it was exciting when you first wrote it.
Just wonderful! The adage about boring writing/reading is so true...as is the exciting writing/reading. I'm learning that a true gauge of the story is when I am continually excited by it and can't wait to revisit my characters. :)
I LOVE this! There is no luck save for that we make. Thank you for that reminder.
All excellent advice. Glad you reposted it.
I love that last one. :D
But the poster is great--all those rules are true!
I'd love to have that poster!
Give yourself permission to be other things besides a writer. You know, mom, wife, teacher, etc. Wear all your hats and be grateful for the time spent in each one.
I love it...I think one of the hardest things about writing was convincing myself that I need to give myself time to get better. Practice, practice, practice...and READ.

Great poster! Love 'em all, except agree with Jessica Bell about #2!
Super poster, Shannon! Full of fab advice ;) And look how much you've grown since a year ago!!
Oh! I'm glad you did post again as I missed the first time! I like! Thank you!
Oh my gosh I wasn't around when you posted this but I'm so glad you reposted it because it's amazing!!!!
#6 is a huge pet peeve of mine, several people say "I'm too busy to read" and Stephen King says "If you're too busy to read than you are too busy to write"
Thanks for sharing!

I adore that quote! Seriously, where do you find these nuggets of wisdom? :)
I think it's essential to do that kind of meta-thinking about your learning - of the craft, of the business, of your own place in it. The world is constantly evolving around us, so we have to keep learning to keep up and succeed. :)
Great poster! I think it would apply to any job!
Thanks, Shannon!
