When I was writing my rough draft, I set a daily word count. I would sit down at my desk and write until I met that goal. If I really had trouble, I wrote in a journal first as sort of a warm-up. I wrote anything: questions about what I was writing, notes, nonsense, whatever came to mind. Eventually inspiration would hit and I'd get to work. Having an outline helped as well. If I was ever stuck, I'd just see where I needed to go next in the story and think about how to get there.(less)

What’s the best thing about being a writer?

It can be the best feeling in the world, or make you feel like the world is over. But the good times are like nothing else. It's beyond worth it. Once you taste it, you can't live without it.

There are many incredible moments in the life of a writer. The first moment of inspiration. The way the story changes as you write it. The characters become real and you realize that's not what they would do at all, so you have to change it. The day you finish the rough draft. The first good thing someone says when they read your words. Finishing edits. Seeing the cover of your novel for the first time. Holding it in your hands.

But if I had to choose the best thing out of all these beautiful moments, it'd be knowing that real people are reading and enjoying this thing I created. The first time I saw my book rising on a "Hot New Release" list, I lost it. It was the best feeling in the world. I was overwhelmed with euphoria. It was tangible evidence that people were reading my book. I get the same feeling when I see a new review or get a message from someone the moment they finish reading, asking when the sequel will be finished. (less)
