7 Things I've Learned So Far, by Jody M. Roy

1. It’s about your writing, not you!
2. Editorial notes are both an immediate to-do list and a long-term lesson plan.
3. I am the expert on the content, which means I cannot be the expert on the clarity.
4. If a cut doesn’t hurt, it’s not deep enough.
5. Save your creativity for the manuscript; the query letter and proposal must conform to industry norms.
6. Schedule writing time.
7. Create rituals.
