I would say three things, based on my experiences so far.

1. If you want to write, just write. Workshops, MFAs, books on craft, these are all fine and good and you'll learn alot from them, but there's no substitute for hard work. Write every single day, even if you don't want to cause you're tired or hungover.

2. Don't take on more than one big project at a time. There's no better way to let a book die than stopping work on it to start another. Always finish what you start, even if it's terrible.

3. Give yourself a break now and again. Have a drink at the end of the night, or watch a movie. When you take a vacation, don't bring your work with you. Even though writing doesn't feel like work, it's still good to walk away from it once in awhile. Otherwise you'll burn out and those shitty writing sessions will become longer and longer.(less)

W. P. Johnson W. P. Johnson said: " An amazing companion piece to the equally brilliant Perdido Street Station. For fans of weird fiction, there are few novels more, or as, satisfying as the Bas Lag novels of China Mieville (though I've read a few "meh" reviews of The Iron Council). Mi ...more "
