Write every day. Write what you know, research every day, so you can know more. Reddit is a good research resource. Pinterest has good writing prompts. Don't let your critical voice speak, while you are writing the first draft. And for the love of everything that is holy, trust the process enough so that you won't rewrite the story 20 or so times.

 

[Ai-chan]

I'm a new baby little writer and I wanted to know what wisdom you grey-haired writers could share

Keep writing. Even if you're only writing a paragraph or 100 words a day, keep doing it. Ai-chan stopped writing for a week. Then Ai-chan couldn't write anymore. Well technically Ai-chan can still write, but the motivation to put pen to paper is pretty much gone. Instead of writing in Ai-chan's spare time, Ai-chan play games instead.

You can write while breastfeeding your baby. It should not be the excuse.
