Some sound advice here. What I love about Neils advice is thats its common sense: When a writer asks him what they need to do, he replies, Write. The writer replies, Im already writing. Then finish it. ---- More gems: If you like fantasy and you want to be the next Tolkien, don’t read big Tolkienesque fantasies — Tolkien didn’t read big Tolkienesque fantasies, he read books on Finnish philology. Go and read outside of your comfort zone, go and learn stuff. And my two favourites: “The true muse of writing lies not in divine inspiration but in unrelenting persistence of effort and force of will” “You have to finish things — that’s what you learn from, you learn by finishing things.”
