What’s The Best Advice I Can Offer Other Writers?
Since this comes up from time to time, I’m sharing advice I offer other writers.
On Facebook, I’m in multiple writing groups.
No matter what subject or genre, there are a group of questions that come up frequently about pausing, rewriting, editing, story order, writing as a pantser vs planner, and other niggling details relevant to a completed work.
And that’s the key. Completed work. I’ve encountered multiple writers along the way who have been unable to complete their work for all kinds of reasons ranging from decision paralysis to life happenings.
Whatever question along the above line comes up, my advice is always the same — and I think bears sharing here.
The best advice I can offer other writers
Without further ado — the best advice I can offer other writers:
Just keep writing.
Please allow me to explain.
When you get caught up in niggling details, endless edits along the way, various issues of writing out of sequence, and the like — the key is to just keep writing.
Often, those issues are tied to distractions and self-sabotage.
