I think it's really a matter of opinion. I, personally, don't like when "said" is used over and over. To me, at least, it shows a lack of creativity and ...

Try not writing it in order. I NEVER write my novels in order. I can't. What's one scene that just runs through your head over and over again that you ...

Here's what I do: Tell yourself "It doesn't have to be perfect....I can always edit....I can always edit.....I can always edit!!" over and over again. Remember, chances are you'll have ...
