4 Bits of Advice for a New Writer
In the past month or so, Ive made a sea-change in my way of thinking about advice to new writers in advice to myself as well.
Herewith:
1) Want to be a writer? First step. Write.
Its that simple. Every morning, start your day with a pen and coil-spring notebook, fill 2-4 pages at a minimum with drafts of articles, rough ideas, rants, dreams, whatever. Just write. And write without much editing.
2) Once a week, preferably twice but once is good, take one of those penned works, clean it up and post it on a blog. Do not worry about creating audiences for your blog, do not worry about social media or any of the things youre supposed to do with a blog.
