Re: Any advice for a newbie writer?

* Read a lot of books. Not just fanfiction, but published books in a wide variety of genres.

* Learn how the sausage is made. It's not fun, but knowing the technical side of what makes writing work helps your own writing: exposition, rising action, climax, falling action, characterization, pacing, etc.

* Write every day if you can. Nothing improves your writing more than practice, not tips, not shortcuts, not hearing about other peoples' processes. Write. If you're not sure where to begin, make an outline of the plot.

I think the sausage making is the most crucial part in all creative efforts and paradoxically enough, my favorite/least favorite part of it. After the initial joy of understanding how something is done, that understanding also takes little bit of the magic away in the long run.

All in all, you've made excellent points, thank you!
