A great set of thoughts and tips, many of the things you mention I learned the hard way over time. Whilst painful lessons to learn, I'm glad that I did.

Every time I blog something, I feel I get a little bit better. But the one resounding tip that stands out above all-overs is to constantly write things down as they come to you.

For me, most ideas come just as my head is about to hit the pillow for the night, I think this is because that's when my brain is at it's most free from the days activities and demands, so I suggest either keeping a device to capture audio notes quickly or a pad and pen next to the bed.

I try to keep at least 40 things on a list all the time so I'm never short of things to work on when the creative spark hits.
