1. Have an idea that you think is so interesting that a lot of people will be anxious to read about it and which will maintain your own interest to keep going.
2. Develop an outline for a beginning, middle, and end, knowing that it will constantly need tweaking but which gives you a game plan to follow.
3. Be patient with yourself!
4. Be prepared to critically edit your work, (more than once) and once you finally think it's ready to be published, spend some money and have it professionally edited. It's a painful but necessary process towards your goal.
