#Writetip: You cannot publish your first draft. I don’t care who you are. But once that first draft is written, you can edit, rewrite and polish until it IS ready to be seen by an outsider. And after an editor has finished with it then you can look at publishing.

#Writetip: The 3rd option is "third person limited" Only one character’s thoughts and perspectives at a time. When it shifts, it’s like handing a camera to another character. “He did this, she did that, but he wasn’t sure why she did what she did.”

#Writetip: Take the time to figure out who your characters are. There will be a lot of information that you will know about them that will never make it into the book. You need to know who they are and what they’ve been through, even if the reader never finds out.

My advice:
To become a successful writer, spend 2 years working at bookstore (to learn the market and to learn what readers want) and 2 years in a news room (learning how to type fast and how to write prolifically on difficult deadlines). Then start writing your novel.

#Writetip: If you can't stay away from the internet when the words aren’t flowing, try turning off the connection on your PC or laptop for a set period of time while you write. Alternatively, it may be time to invest in something that cannot go online.

#Writetip: I often say you need to make time to write a little every day, but the truth is that life is busy and it’s not always as simple as setting aside time or prioritizing your dreams. What I will say is aim for a little every day and then make the most of the time you DO carve out.

#Writetip: I don't think it's a good idea for writers to think too much about the publishing world. I sense in a good many books, even in books by the best writers, an anxiety about how it will do in the marketplace. You can feel it on the page, a sort of sweat of calculation. ELIZABETH HARDWICK
