Maggie Dore asked Valerie L. Ravenscroft:

I want to be a author. Any tips?

Valerie L. Ravenscroft Oh my goodness! I just only saw this message; I never got any notification for it, I'm so sorry!

Sure, there are tips to being a writer: read a lot, practice writing a lot, join a critique/writing group, etc.
But the best tip I could give you is keep learning the craft, all the while bearing in mind that what works for others, might not work for you. :)
Being a writer is all about knowing yourself. The more you know about you and your writing process, the easier it'll be.

Oh, and never give up! ^_^ Good luck! :)
