1. Writing is the most fun thing to do once you sit by the computer and start spilling out those words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs, chapters and before you know it, you end up with a whole book in your hand that communicates to other. Writing is like painting with words; it's like taking a scene from a movie, describing anything you see as if you were inside that scene; colors, scenery, emotions, gestures, feelings, thoughts and let's not forget the most important part that makes the scene lively--communication; dialogues. The more dialogues the livelier the scene the more you tell about the characters. Benefit of writing is that you can describe smells and tastes in addition to that. The more the reader experiences these sensations, the more he enjoy the read.
2. Love your characters. Feel for them. BE them. Put yourself in their shoes and from that point communicate to your readers what they think, or what they would say in their own words. Hate them and relay that emotion fully. Make your reader love those you love and hate those you hate.
3. Don't start thinking what would other think about your writing; don't' stop writing by criticizing yourself. Flow with what comes out, don't bother with rules and supposed-to's you hear from "experts". There are no experts. All you want to care about is that you want the readers to feel what you feel, join with you to a journey you created.
4. Write what comes your way, then, think of the frame. The beginning and the end are very important. Once you have the major chapters on the table, then you can start thinking of the appetizers and the desserts. Make sure that there's a thread weaving throughout the book. If you have a message or messages you want to share, repeat them in various ways.
5. Make your characters real, with their weaknesses and strengths regardless if you love them or not.
6. Keep your own voice and your own style. No need to try and write like so-and-so. Believe in your own voice and your own style.
7. Please don't use BIG words just to impress somebody, or show that you have a wide range of vocabulary. If you want to express an exact thought and there's only one word that can express it, then go for it and use it, but the clearer you express your thoughts, the easier it is on the reader. When I flip through book pages and see that the author is too verbose, I just close the book and put it down.
8. When I write, I make an appointment with myself; which means that I can't be bothered by any phone call or visit. I am in the scene all by myself, getting through whatever emotions I go through as I write. I can laugh my heart out, or cry, or even sob. Hey, I'm creating my own movie after all, right?
9. Let people who like what you write flow you power and strengthen you. And try to ignore the rest. Probably what you wrote is not really for them. Or there are other reasons why they don't like it. Who cares! Just don't consult with them. If you feel you need advice on certain things, call those you know will be gentle with you. Listen to their suggestions but always remember that YOU have the last call and if what they suggest don't seem right to you, then ignore it.
10. Write, write, write. And keep on writing. The more you write the better writer you will become. It is like going to the gym. You work those muscle, man! It maybe hard at first, but as you keep doing it and keep reading other works it will get easier and easier and before you know it, words will flow out of you with such a torrent that there will be no problem at all for you to write anything you wish to write and express.
