How many times do you go through your WIP yourself before giving it to an editor?

Hack for writing good dialogue: Cover up the “he said/she said/they said” and see if you can tell who’s speaking just based on the words spoken.

Keep writing. If you write only 100 words a day for 3 years (about 1,095 days) that’s almost 110K words…roughly the size of an average novel.

Do you finish books even if they’re no good?

[Tyler Snure @SnureStories]

I know they’re about twice the cost, but hardcovers look way nicer on a shelf than paperbacks.

Hack for writing consistently: Try to pick a time of day (that works for you) that you can commit to, day in and day out.

Is it just me or is shopping in a bookstore way more fun than shopping online?
