Writing #tips from #fiction Authors
"Don't panic. Midway through writing a novel, I have regularly experienced moments of bowel-curdling terror, as I contemplate the drivel on the screen before me and see beyond it, in quick succession, the derisive reviews, the friends' embarrassment, the failing career, the dwindling income, the repossessed house, the divorce . . . Working doggedly on through crises like these, however, has always got me there in the end. Leaving the desk for a while can help. Talking the problem through can help me recall what I was trying to achieve before I got stuck. Going for a long walk almost always gets me thinking about my manuscript in a slightly new way. And if all else fails, there's prayer. St Francis de Sales, the patron saint of writers, has often helped me out in a crisis. If you want to spread your net more widely, you could try appealing to Calliope, the muse of epic poetry, too."

One: Write What You Know
In my high school English class our borderline-highbrow teacher would feelingly repeat the above phrase after giving each assignment. "I am thoroughly tired," he would continue, "Of reading of spacemen and dragons and soldiers and knights who are baseless…
Two: Starting Out
How to plan and then begin writing..
Beginning your book is admittedly one of the most difficult parts about writing a lengthy piece. The best method to help spur the book along to fruition—that I have encountered as of yet-remains one of the most simple, conceptually: individual, successive chapter notes. While this concept may sound somewhat rudimentary it is invaluable as a writing tool, not only in starting the process with an informed ‘kick’ but it also aids the writer in keeping the plot on track (as far as where one wishes the story to go)... and lastly, it helps the writer remember to include all the important details and various tie-ins.
