If you've never experienced something and don't know how to write about it, then make it a fantasy book. It gives you a lot of freedom.
~ B.a. Gabrielle
Writing a main character is very important to me. Because each time I create one, it feels like another piece of me in a different world.
A good editor fixes. A superb editor fixes without ruining the original message of your book as a superb translator does as well.
Hating a main character for being too weak is like expecting a human to be able to do everything. Stories aren't all sunshine and rainbows.
Your mind is beautiful. No matter what problems people say you have, every mind is capable of writing something inspiring and beautiful.
An idea can be born from many things. Dreams, food, people... Ideas are everywhere. It's up to you on how you utilize them.
I love every single character in my books. Killing a character of causes me physical pain... It's like ripping a band-aid off too fast.
Do you know what the best thing about a conscience is? You can never mute it. It's an unlimited stream of ideas flowing into your mind.
Wishful thinking isn't particularly bad. Without it, how would you paint happy ideas inside your mind? Don't be so cynical.
Writing is about freedom. It may become precious and fleeting at any time. Don't let anybody shackle down your wings with doubt.
I base a deuteragonist on the best friend I never had. A lot of good ideas come from what I never had and cause my imagination to light up.
When writing a book, don't think about who is going to see it. Write about how you feel in the moment. Don't let a good idea get away.
A good way to never run out of ideas? Surround yourself with interesting people, then think about how you can make them into characters.
When you have a nightmare, don't let it control you. Try transforming that fear into into an antagonist to release pent-up feelings.
Change courage into main characters, fear into antagonists, and peace and safety into supporting characters. Don't hold anything back.
I like writing multiple stories at once. It's fun to change my mindset and get transformed into a different story when I feel like it.
Don't be afraid of your own imagination. No matter what you write, there's always someone out there who will appreciate it.
If you keep looking back, you'll never be able to move forward. You're the only one who can stop yourself from your own success.
Fall is the season of beauty and delicious food. Be grateful for the change of scenery, and try observing it to get more book ideas.
When you're sick, you can never get your mind straight. But if you're passionate and sick, you'll find a way to write down something.
Don't let a bad review get you down. You can't always please everyone.
Don't let anyone tell you your idea is stupid. Do you know how many successful people had people tell them that, and they still made it?
Don't wonder why your time hasn't come yet. When you plant a seed, it always takes a while to grow. Don't be hasty. Think, plan, hustle.
If you have a surprise idea, don't let it go! No matter if it's 4 AM, 6 AM or 12 AM, don't let it go! It might have been a great one!
Writing something new is an effective way to get rid of writer's block. Or you can observe the people around you and fantasize like I do.
