Scott Turow’s writing tips:

1)  Write every day.  The muse only visits if you’re ready for her to arrive.

2)  If you can’t get started on a given day, re-read what you’ve done previously.

3) Don’t worry about staying in sequence.  If something sparks, write it.

4) Get a complete draft before engaging in vigorous re-writing.

5) Seek the company of other writers.  Only they understand completely.
