If, while writing your novel, it starts “speaking” to you, don’t answer back, keep it talking.

You can’t write like everybody so write like yourself.

Write what you want to write and would like to read, not for any invisible audience. Your readers will find you.

Don't analyse your muse too closely, if at all – she'll turn away.

I strive for transparent words.

To keep your writing motoring along nicely, enthusiasm is the petrol.

The road to publishing success is paved with writing.

You can't write like everybody so write like yourself.

If, while writing your novel, it starts "speaking" to you, don't answer back, keep it talking.
