3. Be a voracious reader.
If you don’t exercise your reading brain, it won’t replenish your writing brain. You gain tools to be a better writer, by seeing how others use their craft. A sentence or paragraph, or better yet a chapter, that sticks with you long after you put the book down will offer you guidance as you sit down to write.

4. Stick to your style.
