I’ve noticed writers like to share. We have a huge community on twitter, and we tweet a lot. On my critique group, we email back and forth all the time. We blog, we comment on other people’s blogs and we give tips. Lots and lots of them.
Sometimes I feel like a bit of a fraud. Here I am, blogging about writing, and the craft of writing, and encouragement, and God knows what else crosses my mind. Here I am, giving all this advice and all these tips, and I haven’t even finished my own manuscript (or touched it in days, for that matter). So what do I know? Why should people be listening to me? And how are my tips any different from all the other tips out there in the cyber universe?
I have absolutely no idea. So, just for today, I’ll shut up and not give anyone any advice. I’ll just listen. Anything you want to share?
If you've done some writing, which you have, then you have experience worth sharing. You've discovered a few things about writing that others may not have discovered. You might save someone some trial and error.
ReplyDeleteThat's quite encouraging, Richard! Thanks!
