Pay it Forward Friday: Minute Mentoring for Writers

Today I'm participating in a Speed Mentoring program at a local high school. I'm one of 30 mentors giving kids my best 3 minutes of advice, rotating through five groups of 10 kids each. So essentially I'll be imparting "wisdom" on 50 kids. Wow! Talk about the weight of responsibility.

But as I honed that nugget of wisdom for teens, I thought about what speed mentoring might look like for writers. As I mull over what I might consider my best writing sound bite, I'm wondering what yours would be.

So take a look at this "Minute Mentoring" video, then post your best snippet of writing advice in the comments below.
