Hey there!

What do you plan on doing with your work?

My writing advice is as follows:
Have someone else read it
When you read it to yourself, read out loud
Always keep moving the plot forward. Take out everything else.
And, above all else, every reader wants to be moved. It's your job to give them a powerful, emotional experience.

Hope that helps!
