Anne McCaffrey's Advice on Writing A Book

[Meadow337]

First — keep reading. Writers are readers. Writers are also people who can’t not write.

Second, follow Heinlein’s rules for getting published:

1. Write it.
2. Finish it.
3. Send it out.
4. Keep sending it out until someone sends you a check.

Heinlein's are perfect LOL ... can't do better than that.

Such cool advice, need to be updated to - write it, finish it, edit it, edit it, edit it, send to friends, edit again, put it out there and wait !
