Richard Trice
Know your craft. Poor writing turns people off.
Know yourself (because your best writing will come from what you know or have experienced personally)
Sit down every day and write something, even if it turns out to be junk! Get in the habit of treating it like a job and stick with it. My first book took four years to finish.
Don't expect to become rich at it. Do it because you love it. Do it because you like to make people smile when they read your work.
