The Only Two Rules of Good Writing (That Actually Matter)

Image
Over the years, I’ve been asked the same question again and again. Often in emails from students, sometimes over coffee with friends, and occasionally by strangers at writing events who lean in like they’re about to hear a deep, dark secret. “Rob,” they ask. “What’s the golden rule of good writing?” And my answer is always the same. There are only two. Just two rules you ever need to remember. I know, I know—there’s a whole industry built around rules. Adverbs are bad. Show don’t tell. Use active voice. Kill your darlings. Avoid the passive. Don’t start with weather. Never open with a dream. And for heaven’s sake, don’t end with a twist. But I’m here to tell you: most of those rules are guidelines, not gospel. When it comes to writing that really works—writing that readers devour and publishers pay for—there are only two things you need to get right. Let’s break them down.

Scott Adams and The Thin Line Between Genius and Self-Destruction

Image
  Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert , is one of those curious figures who seem to stride confidently into history and then promptly trip over their own shadow. For years, he was celebrated as a kind of modern-day court jester — the corporate world’s favourite satirist, a man who managed to capture the absurdities of office life with such precision that employees all over the world pinned his cartoons to their cubicle walls. He made us laugh at bureaucracy, at jargon, at the pomposity of managers who confused volume with leadership. But behind that laughter was a keen and restless intelligence — a mind fascinated by persuasion, systems, and what he liked to call “pattern recognition.” I remember reading one of his books years ago — I think it was The Dilbert Future — where he wrote something that stuck in my mind: “Genius is the ability to disguise your influences.” It’s a deceptively sharp statement, almost tossed off as an aside. Yet the more you think about it, the more it ...
