Writer's Summit Tip #4: Resist the temptation to freely talk about your book while it is in the development stage. Typically people will offer you suggestions and their input could create confused thoughts, leading to writer's block.
I took this farther than most people when I wrote Angel On Board. During the three years it took me to write the book, I didn't tell anyone I was working on it and I didn't watch Angel movies or TV shows. I wanted the book to be its own creation without letting in influences from other works.
Other people also 'dream steal' - usually without meaning to, however, if you talk about your work and someone isn't supportive, it can negatively influence your project.
