Surround yourself with good writing buddies who support you and help keep you motivated. Don't be afraid to share your work and get it peer-reviewed. I know this can be scary, but if we don't put ourselves out there we won't be able to grow.

If you like challenging yourself or are looking for good writing friends, join your local Nanowrimo group. They'll push you to write a book in a month and motivate you. Even if you don't finish writing a book in a month, you'll make some good friends and feel a lot more confident in your writing.

When those moments of doubt consume you and you think you're not good enough, take a break. There is nothing wrong with not writing every single day. If you're stuck or frustrated, step away from your writing for a few days and pick up a book in the genre you're trying to write.

When your inner critic is nagging you and telling you the story, scene or whatever you're writing isn't good enough: Dim your screen. Try not to think about what you're writing or if it makes sense and just write. (less)

I think the biggest similarity to my book and my life is that just like Emily I was discovering who I was at the time and trying to find my place in the world. While Mason isn't based off of anyone particular, he was inspired by some of the boys I dated during high school and college. Ian on the other hand, is sweet, kind and thoughtful. The inspiration for Ian comes from my sweet husband (although the only things they have in common are the accent and the total nerdiness). (less)

Stephen Chbosky
“So, I guess we are who we are for alot of reasons. And maybe we'll never know most of them. But even if we don't have the power to choose where we come from, we can still choose where we go from there. We can still do things. And we can try to feel okay about them.”

Stephen Chbosky
“It's just that I don't want to be somebody's crush. If somebody likes me, I want them to like the real me, not what they think I am. And I don't want them to carry it around inside. I want them to show me, so I can feel it too.”
