What advice would you give to aspiring young writers? Stop. Now. While you’re ahead. Find something else. Don’t do this terrible thing called, “Becoming an Author.” No, no, I’m kidding. I say if you want to be a writer, do it because you have a personal desire. Do it even if you had NOBODY read anything you wrote ever. Do it and pretend like there’s never going to be any money or praise in it at all (which is mostly true). If you still want to write out of internal desire and not out of some false external idea, then push through. Learn quality writing and don’t settle for cheap sentences. Write every sentence like you had to fight an editor for it. Don’t muddle through a scene. And don’t be lazy. There’s nothing wrong than a lazy writer. Man, I’m starting to sound pretty nasty right now. That’s what writing can do for you kids!
