Tips for writing? Here are mine:

~Write what you want, good or bad.
~Don't be discouraged by bad reviews, learn from them.
~You will grow as a writer - keep going!

Some good advice I have been given is to look at your average review score, not individual reviews. Every author will get a bad review - it’s your overall review score that matters x

Our Writing Advice:

-Be confident in yourself! Put your work out there and get feedback! That's the best way to improve your work.

-Organise yourself. When you're writing, your focus is writing and writing only. Structuring your writing does help for most authors, helps them be more productive during writing sessions.

I agree with Sasha and Dawn Hill. I started to blog more and to write a few articles on various sites. It helps to get out of the comfort zone. I've gone a while without writing and then I sat down with a blog topic and wrote for a half hour (maybe more). It was fun too!
