1. Whenever you have a good idea make sure you write it down, even if it’s in the middle of the night. I can’t count how many times I’ve forgotten what I thought about!

2. Don’t force yourself to write. It should be fun and my best writing comes out when I’m really enjoying it.

3. Coffee!

4. Get to know your characters inside and out. Make sure the reader knows them as well as you do. How do they talk/walk/smile? What do they sound like? It’s good for the reader to be able to imagine your characters and relate to them.

5. Write from the heart and don’t give up! Even if you write a little bit each day, keep going. Eventually you’ll have a finished book.  :-)
