Writing tip #2) Good writing is both: Clear and crazy

This clarity must not exclude one thing: literary madness.
Stephen King rightly asks: “Why can’t a writer be able to act crazy and still remain normal?”
Both are possible: you can write clearly with your head and be wild with your heart.
Writing tip #3) Don’t give up just because it’s difficult
Stephen King learned the following lesson from his novel “Carrie”:
You should never give china telegram screening up just because the story turns out to be emotionally or imaginatively complicated.
When you hit a wall, it's not a good idea to just turn around and do something else.
Instead, you should persevere and drill through the wall.
Keep writing!
"Even if you feel like you're shoveling shit while sitting down."
