I've learned my lesson: Pay for an editor. The end.

Surround yourself with people who support you in your writing, even if the only person around you is you. This may very well be the most impactful environmental factor to cultivate in your writing journey.

It took me ten years to write and publish my first novel. Just keep going. You got this.

I don't write because it's fun, interesting, or practical. I write because I can't imagine a life without writing.

Creating a daily writing practice has been the most difficult part of writing for me. I used to just follow the dopamine when it called, which isn't a bad thing necessarily, but it took me twice as long to finish anything that way.

Though admittedly awkward, I often forget that I can always write using my phone should the need arise. This makes my privilege as a writer much greater than someone writing before smartphones, not to mention those who wrote in the age of typewriters. I can research and write pretty much anywhere, anytime.
