What’s the best writing advice you’ve ever received?

From Walter Mosley's wonderful small book on writing (and most other professional writers I have met): Write everyday. No matter what. Humphrey Bogart supposedly once said, "A professional is someone who does his (let's use the plural pronoun they) best work when they least want to." Sounds about right.

What’s your advice to new writers?

Don’t give up. Believe in yourself. Believe in yourself. Don’t give up.
