When considering who gives out the best writing advice in the world, the first name that pops up might not be Arnold Schwarzenegger. But a decade ago, Schwarzenegger presented his “6 Rules of Success” in a now-famous commencement speech at the University of Southern California. And these rules just might hold the key to your success as a writer.

Rules were made to be broken – just ask James Dean. But to be a grammar rebel, you have to understand the rules in the first place. How else do you know if you’re even breaking any?

It is even more annoying when you try them and they just don’t work for you. What follows are just tips. You have my permission to dismiss every single one as nonsense but I hope you’ll find at least one thing helpful here.
