1. Join a writing group. I can’t rave enough about mine, and how amazing they all are!
2. Don’t stop when it gets hard … push past that point, and watch your story evolve with each round of edits.
3. Write about what you love … your story will be more genuine if there’s a real spark of passion from you.
4. Join writing associations, these are invaluable when it comes to writing courses or conferences, and a great opportunity to meet other writers. There’s often plenty of advice on their websites for aspiring and established authors.
5. Learn to take constructive advice on your work, but you know it better than anyone, so follow your instincts always, and only take what you need when someone suggests improvements on your manuscript.
