The title of this post -in case it's too colloquially spelt- is "this book helps you."
I have read two books by authors on being authors and the author world. I usually read what other writers say via the internet.
The things which I keep coming across, in all media, are:
1) Read LOTS.
2) Write LOTS. At least an hour a day, or Stephen King's idea of four to six. In my current schedule, 4-6 would mean failing school, but I guess he writes for adults more than under-eighteens.
3) Characters are not perfect because people are not perfect.
4) There is no "secret to great writing."
4) There is no "secret to great writing."
5) Write at regular times. Self control- stick to your schedule, writing is a priority.
6) Don't snub other's opinions if they think less of your writing than you do. At the same time, remember you can improve and learn as a writer. The famous writer ego must be taken out and severely maimed, but never shot.
