- get inspired
- put your idea to paper
- who, what, where, when, how, and why is your world unfolding?
- line up your thoughts
- where's your beginning, middle, and end?
- flesh out everyone's motivation
- write your favorite scene first, and write the rest of your story around it
- your book won't be a masterpiece when you first read it through, and that's fine. think about it though: in an essay, you always write your introduction last. why would a book be any different?
- just don't stop
- power through. a finished work of crap is better than a fourth of an "artistically satisfying" piece. i don't care if it's in fucking gobbledygook; you can translate it later.
- proofread
- you spend twelve hours a day reading fan fiction. make this manuscript your bitch.
