"Be interesting. Don't tell people about your ideas, write them down and develop them. Gather a circle of friends who love you enough not to BS you. Learn spelling, grammar, plotting, mapping, geography, and enough about almost everything else that you know where to look when you need to research everything else. Remind yourself that people are not identical, are not static, and do not think the same things or in the same ways. Tell yourself it's a job until you know it in your bones. And don't try to create GREAT LITERATURE."
