Just write.
Write from your heart. Write the story of your dreams--the one you want to read yourself. Find characters you love and dump all kinds of problems on them until they can't see straight then help them along the path to the happily ever after.
Always remember what it was that brought you to writing, hold tight to it and never forget it.
Sometimes you have to push away all the nonsense. Forget about what's hot and what's not. Forget about what others are writing. Sometimes, forget the rules as well. Whatever it takes to get the words on paper. The rest will come. I promise.
Stay true to yourself. Stay true to your characters. Sit down at your desk and do what you love.
Just write.....

Such a good reminder, Sharon. And so true.
Thanks! Off to do what I love...
That couldn't be more true. :-)
This is the single piece of advice I give most often to people - just WRITE...you said it beautifully, great post!
Well said, Sharon!
Funny thing, though...whenever someone tells me they'd love to write a book, I shrug and say "Then sit down and write it." You wouldn't believe the blank or panicked stares I get in return! :D
