Goodreads asked Lewis F. McIntyre:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lewis F. McIntyre Trust yourself. Tell your story, don't get discouraged. Don't worry about making it perfect the first time because that won't happen. And don't be afraid of having to go back and untangle the whole mess when you edit, because that probably won't happen either.

The hardest sentence to write is the first one of the story. The second hardest to write is the last.
