6-word memoir on writers block:

 

Work on two projects at once.

Christina Laurie, Cape Cod, MA

Every character must have a motivation.

Write one sentence at a time.

Write anything. Sleep. Then write again.

Don't spread ideas across extra words.

Consider criticism, but trust your gut.

Love it!

Write first, save tips for the edit.

Write only to please yourself first.

The best writing advice I was ever given? Relax and enjoy the journey!

Writing is rewriting!

It's okay if it sucks.
