  1. Before you write, read. And read widely, not just in your chosen genre.Gemma_burgess

  1. Edit brutally. Try to cut a chapter by 30%. It’ll almost always be better afterwards.

  1. Follow George Orwell’s Rules Of Writing

  1. Believe in yourself. You never know what you’re capable of until you try.

  1. Enjoy it. If you’re not having fun, put your pen down and go for a walk or read a book. You’ll get your appetite for writing back soon enough.
