• Take routine breaks from working on your eBook , I recommend at least one day a week.

• If you hope to improve your own writing you’ll have to read more books.

•Make a catchy opening – With very few exceptions there almost every bestseller and classic work has an opening that people remember.

• Don’t worry too much about your opening being your most creative, just as long as its memorable. If you need any encouragement just remember you probably won’t do any worse off than Charles Dickens in a tale of two cities.

• The “right” ending – Something I’ve seen far too many authors not do is end their book correctly.

• There’s a difference between the ending you want and the ending that is appropriate for the story.

• Remind yourself that your job as the writer
