Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936), renowned writer and poet, came up with his “serving men” which are an inspiration to all writers. Part of his poem on the subject reads:-
I keep six honest serving-men
(They taught me all I knew);
Their names are What and Why and When
And How and Where and Who.

I would add in the question of “what if” as a useful addition to these six. How can all writers benefit from these questions? Let’s take a look.
