First, write what you know. It is authenticity that reaches readers and allows you to make your contribution. Do your research if the nature of your work requires it. Second, make sure you are writing for the sole purpose of writing. The end goal needs to be selfless. If you are writing for any other purpose—like money or fame or even to settle a score––it will undermine the work. Third, find a mentor—someone who is familiar with your genre and can give you good honest advice. But most of all, enjoy writing. If you love what you do, it will show.
