1. Read everything. Read what interests and moves you. Read what challenges you. Read for pleasure. Read for craft. Read instead of watching reality TV. Just read. It just might change your life.
2. Live your life. Writing's all about that, anyway. And no one's living your life, seeing things the way you seem them, but you. You are unique, and this is a beautiful, beautiful thing, grasshopper.
3. You can write about anything you want, just don't lie.
4. Have fun, for heaven's sake! It's not brain surgery. You won't kill anyone if you choose the wrong words. You can just fix'em later. Writing is power. You are in control of it. You are able to say whatever you need to say, long to say, must say. And that is an amazing feeling.
