Taking a break from the MS is super helpful; sort-of like a reboot. It could be days or weeks before I return to the MS I was stuck on earlier. On a smaller scale, if I'm stuck on Chapter 6, let's say, I'll move on to other Chapters and then come back to it once I've set the MS aside for a bit.(less)

Every genre, and focus on award-winning literature to get a feel for how it's done well. And write, as often as you can. Set aside time daily, even if it's just a half hour, to turn off the phone/internet and write. Join a writers' group, either in person or online, so that you can exchange manuscripts with other writers. Be open to their honest feedback, and grow a thick skin to accept unbiased critiques. Read "On Writing: A Memoir of the Craft" by Stephen King, and read "Bird by Bird" by Anne Lamott. These have amazing tips and techniques for the craft. And lastly, have fun with it!(less)

“Printer's ink has been running a race against gunpowder these many, many years. Ink is handicapped, in a way, because you can blow up a man with gunpowder in half a second, while it may take twenty years to blow him up with a book. But the gunpowder destroys itself along with its victim, while a book can keep on exploding for centuries.”
Christopher Morley, The Haunted Bookshop

“Just a story. It had become one of the defining truths of my life that, no matter how I tried to keep them flattened, two-dimensional, jailed in paper and ink, there would always be stories that refused to stay bound inside books. It was never just a story.”
Ransom Riggs, Library of Souls

Matthew Battles
“But the library - especially one so vast - is no mere cabinet of curiosities; it's a world, complete and uncompleteable, and it is filled with secrets.”
