In no particular order:

- Set aside time to write regularly. You can't be a writer if you don't write.

- Stop planning and start writing. (Though outlining counts as writing)

- Spend more time outlining and rewriting than on your first draft. That's where the real writing and quality happens.

- Find or form a writing group to give you feedback and deadlines

- *Don't* visualize success. Visualize the things you need to do to achieve success.

- Use fewer words and smaller words. Conveying your story/character/ideas clearly and concisely is what's important. Flowery language gets in the way of that.

- After you finish a second draft, cut at least 15-20% of the length by challenging every chapter, section, paragraph, sentence, and word, and asking if it's really necessary. It will make your book much better.(less)
