Whenever I read advice for writers similar themes emerge.
Write what you know, write a good book, keep writing. We’ve all heard it
before. Here’s some other tips. At first it might seen a bit flippant but
there’s a kernel of truth in there somewhere.
- Don’t forget your partner’s birthday cause you’re busy
finishing the final draft.
- Don’t tell the prospective agent that the book is in the
mail, when you only have a rough draft.
- Don’t quit your day job. (You’ll probably need it. Just
saying)
- When you get think that what you’ve written is no good and
you’re the worst writer out there. Relax, it’s probably not true. It may be
true, but probably is not.
- In order to keep writing you need to sell books. Writing is
a business. It’s also a craft. It’s also an art. In the end you’ll need to sell
books to keep doing what you love.
- My rule of threes. Ask three people about your book. If they
all like it, it’s probably good. If they all hate it, you probably need to
revise. Two like it, one doesn’t the books probably exactly what you wanted.
Two hate it, one likes it. Time to do a second draft.
- After 100 agents reject your book. Don’t despair go Indie.
You’re probably a cross genre writer and you didn’t know it.
- Don’t cheap out on the book cover. The saying “Don’t judge a
book by its cover’ has it all wrong. People only judge a book by its cover.
- Take all the advice you can get. Don’t take any advice.
