✎ᝰ┆Every character's first line should be an introduction to who they are as a person.

✎ᝰ┆Even if you only wrote one sentence on a really bad day, that's still one sentence more than you had yesterday.

✎ᝰ┆Exercise restraint when using swear words and extra punctuation in order for them to pack a punch when you do use them.

✎ᝰ┆If your characters have to kiss to show they're in love, then they're not in love.

✎ᝰ┆Make every scene interesting (or make every scene your favourite scene), otherwise your readers will be just as bored as you.

✎ᝰ┆If you're stuck on a scene, delete the last line you wrote and go in different direction, or leave in brackets as placeholder.

✎ᝰ┆Don't compare your first draft to published books that could be anywhere from 3rd to 103rd drafts.
