Heather King
Don't waste time seeking advice--just write. I myself had no mentor, cheerleader, companion--I'm not saying that's the only way or even the best way. But as Rilke said (I'm paraphrasing), Ask yourself in the stillest hour of the night--Must I write? And if the answer is yes--do it. Do not be dissuaded, discouraged, shamed, or swayed. Forge your own way and do it.
