Keep writing, even if you have nothing to say. When I have no ideas at all, I'll write "I have no ideas" over and over. I probably wrote and threw out 40,000 words on my last book.

This may sound strange, but I love getting to know the characters in my own books. They're just like new friends, slowly revealing how they think and what kinds of events they've lived through.
But a close number two would be making people happy with my stories.

Use the resources available to you. Read books on the craft of writing, find a writer's group and attend, study the mechanics of book publishing. To be a success as an author, you need a variety of skills.

I'm about to start a non-fiction book about pirate songs and music.

Reading true stories about real pirates. These people were much more complex and interesting than most people imagine, and the world they lived in was more like out own than we might like to admit.

The character of Scarlet MacGrath wants her story told! All my studies about pirates lead me to continue this tale of a female pirate captain during piracy's golden age.
