So you want to write a story: Week 3

Writing is hard.

It's also easier than you think it is. Just like with anything you do, the best way to get better at writing is to keep practicing. This week's posts include advice on how to keep going even when you think no one likes it, why it's good to write forward rather than going back and editing your work as you go, and some tricks for figuring out where to go next if you feel stuck with your story!
