  1. Learn everything you can about the genre you’re writing in.
  2. Read as much as you can about the genre you’re writing in.
  3. Practice and write as often as you can.
  4. Don’t be afraid to trash words and rewrite.
  5. Hire an editor.
  6. Determine your strengths and weaknesses – don’t try to make your own cover just because you can. Unless you are a graphic designer or have previous experience, chances are that’s not your forte. You’re a writer. It’s best to hire out what you can. 
  7. Don’t be afraid of criticism.
  8. Immerse yourself in the world of self-publishing or traditional publishing. Whatever direction you’re wanting to go in, learn the ways of that world.
  9. Write from the heart.
  10. Read Jennifer Probst’s novel, Write Naked. And then, write naked.
  11. Try news things. What works well for the ten great authors you follow on Instagram, may not be what works for you.
  12. You have to spend money to make money.
  13. Don’t be afraid to ask for help or to ask for advice from people and other writers. Chances are they may have already experienced what you’re currently going through.
