Some of my favorite pieces of advice shared by our community of writers include:
"Don’t worry if it sounds good or looks good or even makes sense. Just write. You can fix all the mistakes later."
-VictoriaBell
"Listen to your inner voice when it comes to final decisions about your novel during revisions."
-Chilo
"Make sure your characters are worth spending ten hours with. That’s how long it takes to read a book."
-Ladyhazmat
