Daisy Dunn’s Advice to New Writers

Persevere. Go your own way. Be as harsh an editor of your own work as you can. For example, don’t become too wedded to anything you’ve written. Sometimes you’ll reach the end of the writing process and realise that those paragraphs you wrote at the beginning and felt so proud of are no longer working. Rewrite, but keep the originals in a back-up file.
