You seem to be quite the acclaimed author :) What would your advice be for young, aspiring writers? I am eighteen years old. I want to get involved in writing but I am not quite sure how to begin.
Thank you for your post. I wish I had pursued my writing when I was your age. My best advice is to take some classes to develop your technical skills, connect with a writing group in your area--a group that will critique your writing and give encouragement. Then write. One book I'd recommend is Escaping Into the Open: The Art of Writing True by Elizabeth Berg. That would be a good start. Best of luck with your writing.
Hi Linda. Just wanted to stop and say how much we enjoyed having you at Visual Arts Junction. Come back anytime.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. I enjoyed the interview, and I enjoy the site.

Do you have any pointers?
