Ellie Lieberman
The best writing advice I've ever received was from two of my favorite authors.
Barb Lieberman's advice "Just write." She wrote a whole blog about it and nobody puts it quite like she does. This, by far, as been the most helpful when it comes to my writing. The blog is worth checking out: http://www.keyboardmusings.com/blog/j...
The second piece of advice is actually a quote from Jack Keroac: "Someday I will find the words and they will be simple." This helped a lot in my writing.
Though I rarely include this one, it's something I remind myself and others about. It's another quote from an author. Mark Twain said about Adventures of Huckleberry Finn "I shall like it, whether anybody else does or not." I think this is very important when it comes to writing.

Hi Ellie... This a question I'm asking of several writers, some friends, some strangers... Can you think of a risk you should be taking but are avoiding right now? In your writing life or otherwise? If so, what would you guess is holding you back? Why are you avoiding this risk? What's at stake? Thanks.
