Write something stunning

If it stuns you, it'll stun your reader.

If it moves you, it'll move your reader.

If it makes you forget about time, it'll make your reader forget about time.

So write something stunning, something moving, something that makes you forget about time and space and all your problems. Something that sucks you in completely and doesn't let you go until you finish.

Trust yourself.

If what you wrote has stunned you, know that there is someone out there who is just like you, and who will get stunned by your writing just like you. Share your writing. Trust it'll find that someone. And in the meantime, while you're waiting, writing more.

Have faith.

Never stop.

Never waiver.

Never get seduced by the idea of writing something for money and straying from what really, truly, and unquestionably stuns you with its power.
