I'd also forget any ideas about making money from writing. It isn't going to happen in the short term, and probably never will.

Anyway. This was the best article I ever read on novel writing:

Parts of the site are charged for and I can't comment on those, but that particular article helped me immensely.
I didn't think that my English was so poor (my mother tongue is Spanish btw). I guess I'll have to work harder on it

While I play with the idea of writing in English one day (and if things go as they should, I'll end up doing it as a university professor), my idea is to write in Spanish at the moment.

I don't intend to win money. In the 21st century you won't get money for writing, but (if any) for your work being interesting. My goal is making my work interesting to read, and let Tao work: if money has to come, it will. If money is not to come, it will not. No one can counter the Tao.
