9 Things You Need to Write a Novel
From Toby Litt, via Warren Ellis's Orbital Operations newsletter.
Perhaps the most important quote from the above-linked piece (of very, very many):
"Here, though, is the ultimate and very simple secret of writing a novel: If you write 1,000 words a day for 75 days, at the end of those 75 days you will have a novel-length-thing. This novel-length-thing may not be a great novel, or even a good novel, or even a novel, but it's a lot closer to being all three than the nothing you had before."
