5 Quick Tips For Writers First Starting Out
4. Listen To People In The Know
You are not the first writer in the world, you also do not know everything there is to know about the writing industry, especially as youre just starting out and the only thing youve got is two hundred pages of text to your name. Thankfully there are people out there that have been in this game longer than you, some of them have been in the writing business for decades, and theyve seen a heck of a lot of it, from the rise of modern classics to the conception of Fifty Shades of Grey. They are there and they can help you. Follow famous writers on Twitter, Neil Gaiman (@neilhimself) is a prime example, often retweeting comments and advice for his fans, having close to two million followers must be quite hard to keep up with. Listen to the shows that are out there for you, podcasts are a great source for help and information, two that I can think of from the top of my head are I Should Be Writing and Writing Excuses. The latter is fifteen minutes long, you can listen to it walking to the shops if you want to.
