Here is what I'm up to..... https://mikesixel.com/category/writing/ I started to a couple years back, just to see if I could (no experience whatsoever), fully expecting it to suck. It didn't take long at all before I got too distracted with other things, but I hope to one day either complete what I started or start and complete another one.

MacReady Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 (edited) So many I've lost track of them all (just kidding probably about a dozen). You use too many commas. Edited October 28, 2020 by Outpost31 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love if any of you have ever done this to read your advice. Here is what I'm up to..... https://mikesixel.com/category/writing/ I mean, what kind of advice are you looking for? If it’s how to publish, a lot of published writers tslk about the industry in their Youtube channels (Brandon Sanderson for instance). If it’s how to write, my advice would be just finish. Your first book will be garbage, but you can only get practice by writing. Accept that even a good book will be crap on first draft, finish it, and let it sit for a while. Then go back and read it, with an eye towards editing. Highlight or note what you like and wgat you don’t, find your strengths and weaknesses, then write to them. Try different things, different ways of coming up with ideas, write out of sequence, write from an outline, write with no outline, etc. If the goal isn’t publishing, then you should just learn what you’re good at and what makes you happy to write. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Ron Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 One of the first job interviews I went on after university was to write the 'grot' stories in porno mags. I wonder what life would have been like had I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
