Few great advices from the famous author are listed below:-

• Stop watching television : Instead, read as much as possible: If you're just staring out as a
  writer, your television should be the first thing to go.

• Prepare for more failure and criticism than you think you can deal with: Not only will you doubt yourself, but other people will doubt you, too. Oftentimes, you have to continue writing even when you don't feel like it. And when you fail, King suggests that you remain positive.

• Don't waste time trying to please people : Rudeness should be the least of your concerns. "If you intend to write as truthfully as you can, your days as member of polite society are numbered anyway, "he writes.
• Write primarily for yourself: You should write because it brings you happiness and fulfilment.As King says, "If you can do it for joy, you can do it forever."
• Disconnect from the rest of the world: Put your desk in the corner of the room, and eliminate all possible distractions, from phones to open windows.
• Don't be pretentious: One of the really bad things you can do to your writings is to dress up the vocabulary, looking for long words because you're maybe a little bit ashamed of your short ones, says King 
• Avoid adverbs and long paragraphs: King believes "adverbs are worst after
  "he said" and "she said"-those phrases are best left unadorned. Also  pay attention to your paragraphs, so that they flow with the turns and rhythms of your story.
