And not much else. If you want to write, you so signify by writing. Here:

• Decide on your genre (including a synthesis of genres) and write it on paper where you can see it.
• There is no such thing as writer’s block. Refuse to give this invented malady power over you.
• Write every day, something, anything. If need be, write about how you’d rather be doing anything else that day.
• Never self-edit as you go. Use the comment feature to mark areas for later review.
• Your biggest enemy is fear of writing garbage. Write anyway.
• Use good peripherals: quality mouse, large screen, comfortable keyboard.
• Start your marketing plan, unless it’s a vanity project.
• Read Stephen King’s On Writing, and learn.
• Don’t show it to anyone until you’re done. No, not even her.
• Consider honing your craft by starting with short stories.
• Back your work up and save frequently, using new filenames.
• Learn the different editing modes, so that you know more about editing than at least half the “editors” out there.
• “Write what you know” means to incorporate your knowledge into what you write.
• When you don’t want to write, admit that to yourself.
• Never book-format as you write. First finalize the content, then do the pretty stuff.
• On a first draft, never stress over grammar or spelling. Create. Keep creating.
• Use change tracking when you revisit the completed ms.
• Your Faulknerian “darlings” are the things you think are your best quips ever. You’re probably going to be the only believer in those.
• Read great writers in your genre; learn from them.
