DON'T DO IT ALONE!
Working in community provides expertise, advice,
feedback, and networking.
✍️ You don't have to follow anyone else's writing process. Find what works for you and don't feel bad about letting the rest go.
✍️ Don't delete any of your stories, no matter how bad it is. You will regret it.
✍️ Not every story has to be perfect…quite often, just finishing is good enough.
✍️ Trust yourself. Be yourself.
✍️ Lean into community.
✍️ Don't compare your draft writing to others’ published works.
