–          keep your job as long as needed as you start your writing career.

–          Take care of your equipment mind and body. Go out and exercise every day

–          you need to treat your writing as a job/career.

–          Work through writer’s block

–          set work schedules.

–          Always work on multiple projects at once.

–          You don’t have time to fail.

–          Collect names for each book.

–          Have more fun.

–          Finish projects.

–          Inspiration needs to come from inside you.

–          The first million words is practice. If you can be paid for practice. It’s great.

–          There are characters you can dislike the end up liking

–          make sure you always reading.

–          Don’t trust anyone asking money to represent you.

–          A series of books can bring past fans to your new book and future books. Also inspire the passbook to be reread or purchased advertising is expensive publicity is cheap.

–          Have people in interview you.

–          Look at what successful people do with their Facebook or websites
