I’ll offer four things:
- The biggest piece of advice I can give is to keep at it, and make it a habit. When I make myself write everyday, I produce my best writing. It’s hard to get good if you do it sporadically, or never finish a project.
- Finish that first novel, learn from the process, and be willing to set it aside and move on to the next thing. It took me quite awhile to do that with my first novel. But it was the best thing I ever did. My second (The Shadow Watch) was so much better. And my third (coming soon) is better than the second.
- Try to take every failure or rejection as an opportunity to learn and grow as a writer.
- Keep reading good books, and make note of what those writers do well. And then, keep writing. The more you write, the better you’ll get.
