#WritersCoffeeClub Advice to an aspiring writer?
Ditch the “aspiring” tag. If you’re writing, you’re a writer.
Take the writing advice that works for you and create your own writing habit that will stick.
In the words of Pratchett, the first draft is you telling yourself the story. Editing is when you coax it into shape.
Keep a means to take notes handy because those flashes of inspiration will come at the worst time.
Finally, enjoy it! Writing is about the journey, not the destination.
