Writing Tips & Interesting Reads For Aspiring Sapphic Writers
Writing a book requires a lot of effort, so don’t let anyone convince you otherwise! When you begin, it’s important to be disciplined, because the journey to publication can be quite a long one. It’s crucial to establish a routine for putting words on the page that suits you, that naturally fits in with your current lifestyle, that enables you to concentrate and ignore the inevitable distractions.
Initially it’s advisable to write what you know and always write from the heart, as this will help you find your unique voice and be authentic. Additionally, don’t hesitate to self-edit, it’s a vital skill to develop. Not every character or idea in your initial draft will be a good one, and although it may be difficult to accept, it’s necessary for improvement.
Most of all don’t give up…get to The End…it is worth it!
