If fiction writers want to succeed at crafting stories, for all readers to enjoy, I would make two recommendations. One is that writers need to be patient and stay focused when developing plots. Some days it won’t be easy to develop new ideas. Writers block is common for everyone. But if you step out of your daily routine and try something different, or even talking to a new person can help shift your perspective so that you will know how to reach the next chapter. The second point I would make is that need to think about how you would measure your success. Is it selling thousands of copies or creating an original idea that will surprise your readers? Every author must make that decision for themselves. I think the most essential point of writing is that the author must enjoy the process and be invested in the ideas they want to share with everyone.

I would visit Hogwarts and play Quidditch. It would be amazing to fly on a broom!

I just finished reading your book and left a review. You created a wonderful story. Just a brief reminder that when I checked the search results on the web the first name showed up as Mamra but the cover says Mamara. Please check your word settings and make sure your readers can find your book with the correctly spelled words. I hope you will enjoy my book as well.

I would take a walk outside or do something to change my daily routine. Sometimes it is too easy to go into autopilot mode.

There are three things that aspiring writers must have in order to succeed at writing stories and selling them: a flexible mind, patience, and courage.
1. A good writer knows how to express personal interests and preferences, but writers collect inspiration from everything. Try exploring things outside your general interests, that will give you a more rounded perspective so that more readers can connect with your stories.
2. When writing, authors need patience for those days when writer's block hits and it's hard to move yourself forward with the plot. They must also be patient during the publishing and marketing process, sometimes there is a lot of waiting when your connections have other commitments before they have time to address your work.
3. If you believe you have a story worth telling and that there are readers that will appreciate your vision, you will be strong enough to handle those difficult moments when everyone is too busy or lacks interest in reviewing your work. Many people won't like the book you created or they might prefer a different title. Don't get discouraged. Everyone has different preferences. You might be disappointed when you don't sell 1000 copies in the first month of publication, but most books on the best seller market tend to be run-of-the-mill types with cookie cutter characters. Even if you have a unique idea that only draws 50 readers, your efforts will be appreciated because those readers needed your vision. Gather many followers and friends so they can support you against the critics and the neigh-sayers. The world can be tough for new authors, but so are you!

I wrote my recent book to explore the image of the "stepmother" and celebrate the bond I have with my own stepmother.

First I think of a question to answer or a problem to solve, and the beginning of that idea usually starts with the two words, "What if...?" Then I collect inspiration from other places, stories and even other people before writing my response.
