F) Don’t EVER Talk about what you’re going to...
When a piece of writing is inside of you its like a baby that’s growing. The baby is feeding off of your vitality, your brain, your emotional strength, and over time it grows. If you talk about it, then you’ve given birth. I’ve given birth to more dead babies than I can count. Give birth on the written page first. Then you can talk about her as she matures.
