Some Very Good Writing Advice

The other morning I was talking to an old friend. I told her about a recent rejection I'd received on my book.

"Now what?" she asked.

"Now I'll send it out again," I said. "Never give up."

"You should just write exactly what you want to write, exactly the way you want to write it," she said. "I like reading inspired authors."

How's that for a wise chunk of advice from a friend and reader?

I think I'll take her advice at face value.
