10 Rules Of writing - goodbye Elmore

I cannot believe that the passing of Elmore Leonard has not been more widely announced - and grieved over!

He gave me enormous amounts of enjoyment over the years and several examples of his work have been turned into film - perhaps the most widely known would include "Get Shorty" and "3:10 to Yuma". "Jackie Brown" was also based on one his stories.

For the New York Times, he made 10 rules for writing - which can be seen in the attached link, and expanded fully by seeing the NYT site.

Farewell Elmore

Thanks for the thrills and the laughs.

Julia.
