Advice from Fellow Writers

You have this awesome idea for a short story, poem, or book but are unsure about length. You want the world to read your magnificent genius work, but are worried about publication. Don't worry, just take a breath and accept that you are a writer, no matter where it takes you. Large or small, your words matter. 

Below I've collected a few words of advice from fellow writers that may help steer your inspiration today...

• Write every day. Make it a habit,
• If you aren't writing... read. Enjoy books that are better than yours to learn from the masters.
• You can't get an agent. So what! Just keep writing. Rejection or publication is part of writing.
• An average paragraph is about 50 words.
• Write, write, write, edit, edit, edit: path to good writing.
• A typical page in a manuscript has about 400 words. 
• Be bold. Put your writing out there and accept comments. Feedback makes you a better writer and opens up your awareness to new ideas.
• An average manuscript is about 300 pages, give or take, depending on the genre.
