Maxim # 9/99: There are No Rules

There are no rules here. Just signposts or what I call ‘maxims’. They are short, pithy and ease to remember. Take it, break it, remix it, adopt it, fine-tune it and do anything else with it that can make your writing experience better. I find it amusing that despite the great amount of writing our legal careers demand, there is no structured way of how to do it. Writing can be stressful if you operate under a strict set of rules. Little does mean that we can operate without any discipline (Well, there’s another maxim for that). For some undisclosed reason, we will try to have only have 99 of them. That’s it. Will either stop the maxims at 99 or resurrect them as something else. And for no reason, they will appear as they like, when they like and in the order they like. So here's the ninth maxim first. There are no rules.
