You’ll be surprised how many
everyday events can be woven
         into a story.
#5 Increase Your
  Vocabulary
#6 It’s Okay to Change
       Your Mind
(rewrite if you want or have to)
(a good list is always ready to be
  turned into a piece of writing)
#8 Make the Thesaurus
 Your New Best Friend
It’s an invaluable tool that gives you many
 alternative options to say the same thing
     without having to repeat yourself.
#9 Write First, Then
       Edit

  (never simultaneously -
you’ll get bogged down and
          stalled)
#10 Edit, Edit, Edit
Don’t fall in love with your first draft.
 Trim until you think you can’t possibly
         trim any more words.
