Jeremy's 7 Rules for Writing Rules
Force yourself to write your rules right away and have them ready for your first playtest with real people. Start strong. Tell a story as you give the theme. Use software to maintain your rules and keep them always up-to-date. Add notes to add diagrams later. Put a component list at the end of the rules use a component diagram with labels. Use 2nd person to specify "you". Use white space and formatted lists.
