Today you will write. Don’t hold back, just let your words flow without inhibitions or judgments. Don’t worry about achieving perfection; that will come when you edit. For now, just write! Remember that consistency is key, regardless of how many words you write each day. If you write every day, your writing skills will improve. Have confidence in yourself, and your writing will thrive.

An Interview with Author Rachel Brown
What is the best feeling a book can give you? Is that something you’re giving to your reader?
I love the feeling of getting so wrapped up in a story that I lose track of time. I would love to make my readers feel the same.
If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?
Don't worry about it being perfect and have fun!
How many words or minutes would you recommend an author to write daily?
I recommend writing at least 500 words a day. I've found that word count works with a busy schedule and it doesn't have to be done all at once!
