Just how do you go
about facing an empty page, coaxing your ideas into the world of form, and steering the end result toward shore? You can start by studying the tips and advice for writers, from writers presented in this ebook.

Some writers recommend that you write very small, in order to avoid the moment in which you have to turn the page and face the next empty one. Other writers write as big as they can, and double space, so that they can feel the sense of triumph and accomplishment that comes with having gotten another page written.

In addition, when pushed, writers will state their rules for writing. They'll then proceed to break those rules by the third page of their novel. The tips offered below for writers, from writers, are to be taken with a grain of salt. Take those that you like, and throw the rest out the window.

"What I try to do is write. I may write for two weeks 'the cat sat on the mat, that is that, not a rat.' And it might be just the most boring and awful stuff. But I try. When I'm writing, I write. And then it's as if the muse is convinced that I'm serious and says, 'Okay. Okay. I'll come.'" --Maya Angelou
