5. You must keep the work on the market until it is sold.
I disagree with rule 3. There's a few times when I've rewritten something shortly after writing it, and it worked better. Course, there's been just as many where I've rewritten and then found myself spamming control-Z (meta-Z when I was still running MacOS, since I've been using the same windows keyboard since '05 or so) to undo the changes I'd made. Its a dice roll every time.

Rule 5 is probably also less relevant in the days of ebook publishers and their reduced overhead.
