Sorry, no. Just... no. No no no. (Ok, a little yes, but so much no as to render it a net no.) > Nobody wants to read your shit is... ...terrible advice. > Make your point fast. > Less is more. I see what you’re trying to say. But please stop. > Don’t send your stuff to people you hope will share it... What? Has this got to do? With writing? > Be patient. Oh, I’m trying. > If your writing is good, it will get found. Ya, no. > If you want to be a good writer, you have to be a good reader. This is actually a very compelling topic for discussion. But not particularly good advice. > Find your own voice and develop your own ideas. Thanks? > I’ve never sat at a blank screen... This is legitimately good, if generic, advice. HOWever, you gotta put in the time. Sit. Write. Type. Start with something. ANYthing. > Don’t hit publish unless it’s worth somebody’s time. Highly debatable. Exercise and discipline are developed habits. > Don’t force it. I’ve gone weeks without writing anything. It happens. Legit. (Counterpoint: RIP deadlines...) > Determine what you’d like to get out of writing and then go after it. This should (also) be midway down. In conclusion: Dear Aspiring Writers, I want to read your shit.
