Hell yeah they do! I must say I always believed that I needed to be in a state of mind to write but then I learnt that I never get writing done that way. Had it not been for a daunting deadline and a publishers emails I probably wouldn’t have learnt this! Setting a schedule is TRES vital. If you want to get your novel out there set a deadline for yourself and persevere. The hardest part is that you must keep writing and not look back. Don’t look back at your work! You’ll have plenty of time to do that once you have your first manuscript. It’s going to be a messy first draft with mistakes and cringing sentences but you’ll have all your ideas on paper and now you can start to polish it. 

Happy writing!
