This page summarizes what I've learned about being a writer -- boiled down to nine tips. (It didn't work out to an even ten. Hey, that's life.) I've also recommended five of my favorite books about writing. I'm going to post about those book recommendations separately, too, but if you want all those recommendations in one place, here they are.)
