Six Quick Writing Tips

1. Jump into your story quickly - don't dawdle.
   
2. Use dialogue sparingly - it's hard to read on radio.
   
3. A fancy passage with lots of adjectives and adverbs that you love to bits is probably an indulgence. Murder your darlings
   
4. Don't fake emotion - it always shows.
   
5. Write about stuff you're not really sure you should let other people know about. That's often where the best stuff is - deep down.
   
6. Ignore all advice if it gets between you and good writing!
