Dear new writers,
Hi. Welcome to the beautiful world known as writing. If you’re just starting out that’s great. I want to pass on some advice I wish I knew as I started the writing process.
- Practice, Practice, Practice: When you first start out writing, you probably will suck at it. That’s okay because to become a better writer you have to keep at it. You have to write, write, and write some more. As you continue to write, you will eventually get better at it.
- Figure out what you like: As you start to write, it would be good you figure out what genre of writing you like. You will probably be able to figure what you like based on what you enjoy reading. For me, I like writing Young Adult novels that deal with romantic, but also having the main character have to overcome something.
- Keep at it: To get better at something you have to keep doing it over and over again. For me, I stopped writing for a year and then came back to it. I don’t advise you to do that because if writing is your happiness like it is for me, you can image how that year went for me.
- Share with people: Create a blog, a Tumblr, or even a page for your writing. You need to get your words out there, so people can give you feedback and even develop a fanbase for your writing. I wish I did something like that for my book because it could have really got it out there.
- Never give up: Writing is hard. It really is and people will tell you can’t make it in the writing game, but I believe in you. Writing is something like no other in the world. For some people, it’s hard, but for you, it comes easier, so keep with it. Never give up. I dream of becoming a bestselling author in the future and I know I can be as long as I never give up.
