really sound advice! especially the 'finding your voice/ style' ones. as a (not super established) writer, i'm innundated by the message—that often sounds like a threat—to find our voice as soon as possible. it's nice to read that it's okay to take things at our pace and wait for our voice to emerge as and when it does :) thank you!
these are so great, thank you. not getting hung up on finding your voice + writing a digestible 1st line really stuck out to me as someone trying (& struggling) to get back into writing!!
Wow! So many great advice here... some are stuff that we need and no one talks about it, like #1 and #6. #9 was completely new to me and I'll try to use it, but #15 I'll try but it'll be tough... I use cliches all the time, even when I'm talking to my boss 😂 #18 is the greatest!
This should get more likes because it's all you need to know, minus the bs from people who don't have the same amount of experience
This is all solid advice, all practical.

Thank you, it was enlightening!

Good advice! I used to do #7 a lot and I still see it around me. But now, it's a no no for me. :)

This is wonderful! Probably the best “on writing” post I’ve ever read on Substack.
