6. If you could give any advice to a new writer/author, what would it be?

Don’t use so many exclamation marks! 😅 And get your WIP in front of beta readers to get their brutal feedback. Then take what works for you and discard the rest. My rule of thumb is that if you see a pattern forming where a handful give the same feedback, that’s something to address. But if it’s a one-off that doesn’t sit right with you, let it go. And don’t take any of it personally. Know that they are there to help you get to the best version of your book so you don’t put out mediocre work.
