Advice from a famous writer: Abandon the idea that you are ever going to finish the wretched novel. Forget about the 3 or 400 pages you hope to write and write just one page each day. Then
when you get to the 400th page, you are always surprised.
Speak dialogue as you write it - only then will it sound true.
The writer was convinced there was magic in story writing, and also
convinced no one had ever been able to reduce it to a recipe that can
be passed from one person to another. "The formula seems to lie solely in the
aching urge of the writer to convey something he feels important to the reader.
If the writer has that urge, he may sometimes, but by no means always, find the
way to do it. You must perceive the excellence that makes a good story good or
the errors that makes a bad story. For a bad story is only an ineffective
story."
