A sure-fire method of developing any skill is to follow the advice of those who already have the skill. Advice from other authors is an important way of developing a writing skill. It is a whole chapter in this book. Your first book could benefit from the advice of Charles Reid, the 19th-century novelist. He advises you to make your readers laugh, make them cry and make them wait.
