(From page 13-14)
As with much in life, when we try to force the writing, we often end up with uninteresting, barren, joyless text; when we tap into the flow, we are likely to find ourselves carried along on a joyful, creative, fulfilling stream. Within this stream are tenets of life that apply readily to the act of writing.
Taoism is a philosophy of creativity, utility and joy. From this general impression and after reading extensively, I identified 12 principles of the Tao of writing:
1. Writing is natural
2. Writing is flow
3. Writing is creation
4. Writing is detachment
5. Writing is discovery
6. Writing is change
7. Writing is unity and multiplicity
8. Writing is clarity
9. Writing is simplicity
10. Writing is personal
11. Writing is universal
12. Writing is open-ended
