1.) The topic of you're novel has to be something that YOU are interested in. If you write about romance, but you are way more into those bone-chilling thrillers, stop the romance novel, and write the thriller. Or better yet, combine them!
2.) Write about what you read about. Like me, for instance. I love reading murder mystery, suspense novels. That's why I write about those genres, because I enjoy them.
3.) Don't plan ahead. I swear, this has to be one of the biggest mistakes people make when they write. It works out much better, if you let everything fall into place. If you need to go back in your novel, and add something, nothing is stopping you. It's a good thing to do.
4.) You be the judge. It's your novel, your ideas, your creation. When you think it's done, it's done. When you think that it needs more detail, add it. You should get complete control over your novel.
5.) Don't stress it! Don't rush it! Do not have a fit over it. Seriously, it's not life or death, take a few days break. There is nothing worse for the mind than pressure, and anxiety. You'll just confuse yourself. You Do Not want that to happen. You must never rush your writing, it will be finished when it's ready. If you rush it, it will end up being a dud, because you didn't give it time.
There are probably many more tips, but I'm just too lazy. I'll post some more, another time.
