Two things.
1) Write, write, and write some more. Just keep writing, even if it is never seen by another soul, each time you write, it is building the foundation that will, over time, improve your quality.
2) Focus on quality, not quantity. Remember that foundation we were talking about a second ago? If you focus on quantity first, your book may end up about as interesting or moving as a dictionary.
However, if you focus on quality first and keep practising your craft, the quantity part will naturally take care of itself. (less)

But that's why you put on that stress-sweat-proof deodorant-- or did you? (less)

Quotes by Ashley Nikole  (?)

“I know good things have happened, don't mistake an expression of pain for a lack of thankfulness.”
Ashley Nikole

“I was walking along one day and smacked into this wall called hope deferred and depression and...grief.
And it wouldn't budge.
After some time, I realized this darkness I'd found myself in was called grief.
I'd been through so much trauma, everything about me- including my body, emotions and soul, was shutting down and going into preservation mode.
I entered a season where the battle caught up with me and I realized just how badly I'd been beaten and torn up, inside and out.”
Ashley Nikole

“Getting shot wasn’t an issue of skill; it was an issue of chance. And Justice had a bullet-sized issue of chance lodged in her shoulder.”
Ashley Nikole, Deadeye

“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
Fred Rogers

“Damaged people are dangerous. They know they can survive.”
Josephine Hart, Damage

“In neglecting our intense emotions, we are false to ourselves and lose a wonderful opportunity to know God. We forget that change comes through brutal honesty and vulnerability before God.”
Peter Scazzero, The Emotionally Healthy Church, Updated and Expanded Edition: A Strategy for Discipleship That Actually Changes Lives

“She was a genius of sadness, immersing herself in it, separating its numerous strands, appreciating its subtle nuances. She was a prism through which sadness could be divided into its infinite spectrum.”
Jonathan Safran Foer, Everything is Illuminated

“When we deny our pain, losses, and feelings year after year, we become less and less human. We transform slowly into empty shells with smiley faces painted on them. Sad to say, that is the fruit of much of our discipleship in our churches. But when I began to allow myself to feel a wider range of emotions, including sadness, depression, fear, and anger, a revolution in my spirituality was unleashed. I soon realized that a failure to appreciate the biblical place of feelings within our larger Christian lives has done extensive damage, keeping free people in Christ in slavery.”
Peter Scazzero, Emotionally Healthy Spirituality: Unleash a Revolution in Your Life In Christ
