Weekly Writing Tips - Harper Lee

This week's writing tips come from the American novelist best known for her 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee.

1. Simply get started and the floodgates may open.

“So many writers don’t like to write… I like to write, and sometimes I’m afraid I like it too much because when I get into work, I don’t want to leave it. And as a result, I’ll go for days and days and days without leaving my house.”

 

2. You may surprise yourself.

“It was something I never expected to — I never expected the book would sell in the first place. I was hoping for a quick and merciful death at the hands of the reviewers.”

 

3. Be a finisher.

“Real courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what.”
