100 authors give varied advice on writing, the craft, the content, networking, and hard truths. There are lots of advice to take in. The tips are extremely subjective, with some suggesting writing should be every day while others suggest writing when there is time, especially if raising a family. The bottom line, however, is making the time to write. It's never too late to start writing; some authors recommend getting at least a first draft done and looking into getting developmental editors (and not copy editors) so the book caters to both the author and the readers and to treat writing like a business to network with those who specialise in book covers, finance, and marketing. Other authors recommend writing what they love, particularly if they have the background knowledge, and focus on the complexity of characters to make them well-rounded people and to manage time when writing since time can go by very quickly. Ultimately, writing is hard work at the beginning and takes repetition to be accustomed to writing thousands of words at a time and understanding the marketing side.
