Quote: “There’s a thousand other great writing tips, but generally, do what works for you. Try different things and keep doing whatever it is that helps you get words on the page.” – Brent Weeks
Tip: Stretch your writing brain and occasionally write something totally different for you. If you’re a novelist, write a poem; if a poet, write a short story. Write something that takes you out of your comfort zone.
