Advantages: A great way to spend your time.

Disadvantages: Ideas can not be forthcoming.

Well I love writing and have been known to spend many, many hours this way. I have even had two poems published so I must be doing something right! I like writing short stories, poems and novels (which I'm still working on).
Here are a few tips I found out along the way.
If you've got an idea write it down ASAP. It's amazing how quickly you can
forget it and it's very annoying.

Write about what you know. This will give your work a sense of realism about it.

Try and write everyday, even if it just a sentence or a paragraph, it doesn't have to be a full chapter. This is especially true in the case of novels. If you leave your work for too long then it won't flow and will seem like you ran out of ideas and just tagged something on the end it.

Know the genre you writing it. Read books within that genre to get a better understanding of it.

Most of all though enjoy. If you feel what your writing isn't going anywhere then move on. But don't throw it away, you never know you may get the inspiration you needed 6 months later.

Summary: A few tips from me

Thanks for that sympatic. It was fantastic when it happened, it's really exciting to see your own work in a book.
