Advice from Other Writers

One of the things I like to dip into (sometimes as an excuse to put off doing any actual writing) is to read advice and tips from other writers.

Below is a list of 10 good writing tips from Zadie Smith which I received via e-mail from Gotham Writers' Workshops, originally published by The Guardian.

I like it because a lot of it is just sensible advice - 'work on a computer that is disconnected from the internet' although I think for most of us it might be a little late to take up her first point...
