I’m a writer, a pretty fair guitar picker, and my inner child does pretty much whatever he wants to. God loves me and so does my wife.

“Here is one of the greatest pitfalls for beginning or inexperienced writers: Their stories are, far too often, just simply not very interesting... [The] fellow who wrote this thing was certainly pretty worked up... funny how hard it is to stay awake while you are reading it.”

Writing Tip: Don't make the mistake of creating unrealistic goals for yourself at the start (like, 'I'm going to write 5000 words every day for a month!'). Those burn new writers out fast. Start small and work your way up to a rate you're comfortable with. #writing #writingtips #writingcommunity
