Practice, practice, practice. Write what you can, when you can, without judgement or fear of failure. Just keep at it.
I think there's this false idea, because everyone learns to "write" in school, that it's easy. But writing, especially novel-length work, is a lot more like running a marathon than running a sprint. So practice, try different stuff, figure out what you're good at, train your brain, rest when you need to, but most of all, keep at it.

Hi Ariele, I really like the the first four Rove city books and am going to read all of them. Can I please ask some advice. Did you pay for an editor for your first book? Would you advise others to do so? Also any advice on getting your first book to sell when you are completely unknown? Kind regards Michael
