Marjorie F. Baldwin
Write, write then write some more. Don't worry if what you write is "good" or "ready"; just worry about writing as often as you can so as to keep your writing alive. And live life. The more "life" you have to draw on, the more real your writing will feel. When you want to release a book "into the wild," you have to let it go out on its own--first to an editorial team, then to the readers. Both will be harsh audiences...and that's okay. Whatever they say, you can take or leave...then the next time you write something, don't make the same mistakes again. Just never stop writing.
