Read, read, read, and then write. You need to read as much as you can on the genre you wish to pursue.

In its infancy, writing is personal in nature. You develop and nurture a work that has come from place of vulnerability and sincerity. Then, you get to share it with the world. That's the best part.

Writer's block is something many writers deal with. I step away from the novel and write poetry or read other materials. I also keep a notebook with me wherever I go. In it, I write words or phrases that come to mind. I reach for that notebook whenever I feel I am at loss for words. It's like a treasure trove of beautiful phrases.
