1. Don't read books, so that you’re writing in a total vacuum.

father’s death from cancer—is an original idea never been done before.
2. Avoid all writing classes and criticism, even if you’ve spent decades in a different field. You got A’s on all your papers in English class, so how hard could publishing a book be? 3. Be a literary snob. |
