Charis (offline for a bit) asked Sumayyah Akhoon:

What is your biggest writing tip for young writers?

Sumayyah Akhoon My biggest writing tip for young writers is to not give up! Be patient and persistent. Writing is a skill that grows over time, and every draft you write teaches you something new. Don’t worry about being perfect from the start, focus on finishing your story FIRST, then go back and improve it. And always stay curious: ask questions, explore new ideas, and don’t be afraid to take risks with your writing (have fun with it!)
Also try getting feedback. Listen to advice and feedback, but always trust urself and your own ideas. Your story is special because it comes from you.
And last of all, I know being a young writer sometimes feels like you’re not good enough or that you r too young to write something great. but don’t let that stop you. Your age gives you a fresh, special perspective that only you have. So keep going!
(thanks for asking!)
