What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Larey Batz Don't over-romanticize your process. No one cares if you talk to and have deep conversations with your characters. No one cares about your muse. No one cares about whether you do outlines or write "organically". Doesn't matter if you like to write in a basement, a coffee shop, a park, high on hallucinogens, watching an ocean sunset with a glass of wine, or in a bathtub surrounded by a hundred candles.

All anyone cares about is your output.
