A writer needs three things: experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others.

Writing a novel is like a one-armed man trying to hammer together a chicken coop in a hurricane.
William Faulkner
Writing a novel is
Read, read, read. Read everything – trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it’s good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out of the window.
