Remember, You’re Selling Yourself

If you’re afraid of revealing too much, you won’t write your best.
Your deepest fears should be on the page.
No straw men allowed—you have to believe your villains are right on some level.
Your subconscious is creating your characters and plot—drill down deep for more.
You can only tell the truths you have lived yourself.
Your characters are all aspects of yourself
The story you write now will reflect who you are now.
Writing may be the best therapy you ever do—and the hardest.
The people you know and love will appear in your fiction if you intend it or not.
The more truthful you are to yourself, the easier it will be to write.
