Mark Robinson
Write every single day. Especially at the start, write, write and write. Don't worry if it's not perfect, first focus on getting ideas on paper.
Only when you've made your first draft start reading it with editor glasses and cut away / rewrite all the substandard stuff.
Then get early reviews, make a new version, get another review. Repeat this 5-7 times until your manuscript is great. Then send it to your editor.
