100 Words of Advice from Holly Rizzuto Palker, Profiles Editor
Observe. Listen. There is value in every writer’s words, seasoned or novice. There aren’t stupid questions so ask them. Knowledge equals growth. Act on the afforded understanding, follow the path, and seize the opportunities even if they differ from your vision. Be humble. Accept all work offered because it leads to more opportunities. Write at least five days per week, even if you’re the only mom at soccer practice with her laptop. Switch between projects to alleviate boredom. Join a writing group and honor feedback. If more than two people have similar input about an issue, address it. Good luck.
