The lovely Martel Maxwell, author of Scandalous, has kindly given us her top 5 tips from writing!
The following banner is an affiliate one. That means Writing Tips Oasis receive a small % of the sale if you purchase The Novel Factory, but at no extra cost to you:

1- Finish it. Yes it’s a mammoth task but if you really want it, just do it.
2- Believe your story is worth telling. Readers are going to laugh, cry or be inspired by your writing. They are.
3- Live life fully to have great experiences and characters that influence your novel.
4- Find what works for you – getting away to write alone, making your home your writing place – whatever it may be, figure it out and apply it.
5- No one can make you feel inferior without your consent. If someone doesn’t like your novel, that’s fine but it’s only their opinion. Move on, keep knocking on doors like there’s no tomorrow. Hustle. It’s worth a fight and it will happen.
Thanks Martel!!
