Conditional Love author Cathy Bramley offers her top five writing tips for writers.
1. Write every day, even if it’s only a paragraph, or some notes for a forthcoming scene. It will help keep the story in your mind
2. I recommend two books: On Writing by Stephen King and Rock Your Plot by Cathy Yardley.
3. Get yourself a network of other writers, even if it’s online. The support is invaluable, particularly on a rough day.
4. If you have a good idea, write it down, you won’t remember it!
5. Read, read, read! I have focused on reading books in my chosen genre for the moment to familiarise myself with the market, although I treat myself to something a little darker every so often.
