In a post on Killzone, PJ Parrish says writing is a lot like gardening. “If you turn your back for just one day, both your garden and novel go to hell,” Parrish writes. What else do they have in common?
- Find good tools.
- Prune without mercy.
- Weed every day.
- Leave room for serendipity and whimsy.
- Don’t try to grow things that aren’t really you.
- Know when to give up.
- Cultivate friends.
