There's so much advice that I can't possibly condense it here, except for a couple highlights that I keep returning to:
- Whenever you're inspired, act on it. Even if it's a different project.
- Keep writing. You don't have to do it every day at the exact time, but you need to keep doing it in order to improve.
- A finished first draft is more valuable than a perfect first chapter. You can't revise what doesn't exist.
And enjoy! Writing can be a hobby for fun or a career. Whatever it is to you, try to always enjoy it!!
