There are a lot of really great people on this board. Always willing to help. Always constructive. But looking at Vig's log line about the 'board bully' reminded me how easy it is to crush a completely new writer by a smart ass comment. So....I was thinking, what would be your top three pieces of advice to new writers[ more if you want?] - not in respect of format, but something to bolster the courage and keep them at it. Can I start the ball rolling with......
1. All criticism is subjective.
2. It takes time and experience to learn what is good advice and what isn't.
3. When you stop enjoying it. Stop doing it. But if you really are a writer you'll never stop enjoying it.
I may have to edit this when better ideas are posted because frankly I'm not inspiring myself. But you get the idea?
