As some of you may know, I personally am at university studying creative writing in the hope to get some of my stuff published at some point in time. At the moment I've got a sort of pseudo-mythology that I've been working on for the last 10 years that I'm trying desperately to get done.
My advice to any writers is to write. Then re-write. Then re-write again. And again. And a final time before getting some other people to read it. then re-write again. Repeat until good.
Also, it really helps to write your first draft on paper with a pen. Its long and labourious, but it does help the following re-write.
But don't get your hopes up for a novel version of The Phantom and Alien.
Not just yet anyway.
