What are your golden rules for writing?

Here are my golden rules for writing. The question is, what are yours?
* Consider the reader - do not write for yourself, always write for the reader.


* Be disciplined - you may wish to pack lots of information in but does the reader need it?

* You may not have put enough information in - you can imagine where a scene is set but have you given the reader the information they need? You may have drawn a character but can your readers see them?

* Be brutal - if you have overwritten, chop out the fat.
