1. Read On Writing by Stephen King
2. Read everything you can. Examine what you like about different books and what you, as a reader, dislike or are irritated by in books.
3. Brainstorm until you get a story that is fighting to come out of you.
4. Always write for you -- not the money or the readers. If you focus on number of sales, you will never be satisfied. Expect and shoot for 1 sale, your own.

Hi, I think I read some place recently that you don't think readers are going to like the ending you have planned in the next Deanna Madden book. Did you really say that? If so, why are you planning an ending that fans won't like? Just curious. I like to try to get into the minds of writers.
