Book Flame: Blog Tour:Advice for Aspiring Writers by Cami Checketts + Giveaway
1. Writing is the greatest profession in the world.
2. Only become a writer if you absolutely must write. Very few writers ever get wealthy, and it’s a tough profession, especially if you don’t enjoy writing.
3. Read every chance you get.
4. Real people are more important than imaginary. Try to live in the real world at least part of the time.
5. Don’t mention your mother-in-law in your books, for some reason they take exception to that.
6. You’re an eccentric writer, enjoy being a bit crazy.
7. Never waste time on anything that is nonessential: television, video games, cleaning the house, embroidering Christmas stockings (unless you enjoy that).
8. Do something fun and active to counteract hours of sitting on your backside or it could grow.
9. Do everything you can to learn how to become a better writer: workshops, conferences, books on writing, articles on writing, classes on writing, etc.
10. Don’t ever, ever, ever give up.
