This week I'd like to start off with a little writing advice from J.K.
Rowling. Found on kevinkruse.com is some tips on writing:
1. Kill the adverbs.
2. Writing is work; don't wait for inspiration to write.
3. It's okay to juggle multiple book projects.
You can find the full list here with explanations behind each piece of
advice.
I found this list interesting because that is exactly the point of this site.
Even when we aren't inspired, or are too tired to write, we take the time
despite that and write something every week. You may be working on your novel
while challenging yourself to write something short to submit. Sometimes taking
a step back and trying something different will help you get further in your
novel. You can't wait for inspiration to strike, you have to look for it.
If you're a huge Harry Potter nerd like I am and would like to see an
interview with her, this interview with Katy Couric and J.K. Rowling is really interesting about the
Half-Blood Prince.
