“1. Don't think you can't write just because you can't write. No one is born knowing how to write. They learn how by trying.

2. Don't be discouraged just because you are discouraged. Everybody feels discouraged at some point when they're writing or trying to get published. You just have to keep going despite feeling like you can't.

3. Don't give up just because you gave up. You can always start again until you're dead. And even then...who really knows?”
