Read, read, read the genre you're writing. Be OPEN to suggestions and advice, especially from people who edit for a living and from those who are your target audience--an outside perspective can enhance your voice and clarify your message. Let down your defenses and listen.

I just wrote that book. For thirty years I didn't have a conscious memory of something that shaped every part of my life from that first moment forward. I was the mystery, and it took years, a horrible accident, and the love of a special horse to solve it.

For me, I've found if I can just write down the basic idea--no matter how messy or horribly written--just get it down, I then can revisit it in a day or three and it flows freely once again.

It is the book I wish I could've read when I was 20. A book that could have helped me understand what was happening to me and more importantly, to realize I could find help, and hope.
