Must be a group member before inviting friends
Emma Johnson
Being a newspaper journalist was the greatest training for me as a writer, as it forced me to think critically about every single word on the page. Also, the sheer volume of writing that job required was rote practice that honed my raw skills, making way for intuition to flourish. So ... my advice? Write, write, write. Seek out and accept criticism. Revise, rewrite and write some more. And kill your darlings. But I think someone else said that first.
