There’s a column about going back and looking again at that advice you had seen before. As she points out, on the Internet, you are likely to be flooded with advice. But we all have some bits and pieces that really helped, or gave us direction. Maybe it was a friend saying they start with the ending, and then work towards that. Or someone saying they start with characters, and throw them into a plot. Or the mystery writer who admits that while they are working on the story, they try to make everyone suspects, and only pick the real one at the end? Anyway, some bits and pieces of advice about writing probably really worked for you...
So, today’s exercise! Make a list, or at least pick out one bit of advice that you really like, that has been your byword, your habit. If you can, find out or remember where it came from (let’s honor our sources, okay?). And write it up! Tell us what that advice is, what it means to you, how it has helped you... and then share that with the list. Come on, you know... that motivational poster about how hard it is to soar with eagles? That’s the one that keeps you writing? Okay!
Go, write it up, and post it here. Short, long, whatever, tell us the advice that has meant something special to you.
