This will seem silly, but it's the best advice: write.
Do the work.

- Make sure you sit your but on a chair and that you have pen&paper, your phone or your laptop. Then start from there. Ask yourself: "what needs to be written today?", and something will come up. It can be a grocery list, a poem, a short story, a few lines.

- After that, be mindful of what you want to share with the world. Understand it is not your place to judge whether it will be a hit or not, whether people will like it or not. Your job is to write what is meaningful to you and what you feel may resonate in one person or two. That's already enough.

- Keep the positive comments close to you. We all need validation and we all thrive when our work is acknowledged.

- Know why you want to write. Listen to what's in your heart. And then go.

- Don't be afraid of running out of inspiration. You might have a day or week or month that you won't feel like your work is good, but it will come back.

- Read and listen to other writers, and pay attention to the ones you admire not only as a writer, but as a person.

- Tell your story, share your unique human experience in this world. Your story deserves to be told, and I swear to you that someone out there wants/needs to read it.(less)

Besides that, I have already started working on my second book, which will develop into my relationship with work. It will be a long form letter to someone - but I won't spoil it yet!(less)

“We never really talked much or even looked at each other, but it didn't matter because we were looking at the same sky together, which is maybe even more intimate than eye contact anyway. I mean, anybody can look at you. It's quite rare to find someone who sees the same world you see.”
