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 is about freedom. It may become precious and fleeting at any time. Don't let anybody shackle down your wings with doubt.

Write what you feel like writing at first without worrying about how it sounds. That's what second drafts are for. Enjoy the first one!
