My advice is:
1.) Don't edit while you write. Write it out first until the end. If you need to make a change-keep a notebook or "insert comments" on the side of the document for what you want to change--but do it later.
2.) Let the manuscript sit a couple of days or a week, without reading it. Then, go in and read/make changes.
3.) Network with other writers on (Twitter & Facebook) this is a MUST! You will learn so much from other authors and it's important to have that connection/helpline.
4.) Research the market--but write what makes you excited :)
