Write every single day, and read as much as possible. Don’t read junk; have more respect for yourself. Read things that challenge you, read books that entertain you, read books that fascinate you. Just read read read. And when you’re done reading, write. You won’t get better at it if that great novel stays “up here” in your brain and never makes it to paper.
And never be embarrassed about being a writer. People will mock you, believe me. They will belittle you and ask you when you’re going to get a real job. You’re doing something more important than sitting in a cubicle. Keep writing.
