Hi Rachael, I am attempting to write a story and I was just wondering if you had any advice to give to an aspiring writer? Also, thank you so much for your amazing writing.
Rachael Craw
Hello, Hannah :-D Wonderful to hear that you are writing. It's such a fascinating process filled with joy and frustration. My biggest piece of advice would be: don't give up! Find ways of developing your craft by: reading a lot - especially books in the genre/category that you love. Read the best of these books and let them inspire you. Read books on writing. When you feel like your story needs help to develop further find trustworthy feedback - people whose opinion's you respect. If you are willing to invest in the process financially I highly recommend having a manuscript assessment. The assessor will point out the strengths and weaknesses of your work and make suggestions for how you can improve it. All the best with pursuing your passion!

Hi guys: I am posting some questions here on behalf of a reader, Tyler Waters who has been having trouble sorting things on goodreads and has been patiently awaiting answers to her questions. "Which book was the most annoying to write? When I mean annoying, I mean, When you were writing the book, which one made you think it wasn't good enough and you kept changing it? Does that make sense?"
