TIPS TO WRITERS (# 3): SO YOU WANT TO BE PUBLISHED?

Tip # 1 – Do not write to impress your reader. Write to elevate, educate, and entertain. Your story, not you, should appear smart or sensitive or brave.

Tip # 2 – Do not write when tired, horny, angry. Write only when you are at your best.

Tip # 3 – Never be jealous. If someone else gets published first, rejoice. It only means it can be done. Give your best and gentle efforts to help a fellow writer learn, improve, and keep writing.

You can always be the next.

Tip # 4 – In the literary world, ‘no” doesn’t mean stop. It only means “not this direction.” Keep writing, learning, hoping, experiencing.
