    Lots of good advice and I like your sense of humor. One question: How does “but first make sure you have your eyes open and are fully awake” square with the inevitable sleep deprivation you promise in the side-effects? Oh, I forgot: addiction to caffeine is another side-effect! Do you mean “beneficiary” or “benefactor”? If the former, then another side effect is death! (Just kidding–can’t help being an English teacher–super-annoying habit.) I like your warning about self-publishing and particularly like #9: “…Why rush it? One more rewrite might make a significant difference. Hire a proofreader!” Thanks!

      I’m always a fan of English teachers as long as they don’t linger on my bad comma placement. Thanks so much for reading and commenting.

    This is all sound common sense… totally agree with writing every day… one of the hidden bonuses of being a journalist for over thirty years..
    Blogging is just as good !!!
    Job description spot on… and I find as a writer that if I don’t write I feel miserable, so that’s one of my great incentives – write to feel happy and energised !!!..

      Thanks Valerie,

      I couldn’t agree more, especially on those days when I have no time to write, I get so cranky! Keep writing!
