I got a rejection letter from an editor at harpercollins, who included a report from his professional reader. this report shredded my first-born novel, laughed at my phrasing, twirled my lacy pretensions around and gobbed into the seething mosh pit of my stolen clichés. as i read the report, the world became very quiet and stopped rotating. what poisoned me was the fact that the report's criticisms were all absolutely true. the sound of my landlady digging in the garden got the world moving again. i slipped the letter into the trash... knowing i'd remember every word.

It's not possible to advise a young writer because every young writer is so different. you might say, "read," but a writer can read too much and be paralyzed. or, "don't read, don't think, just write," and the result could be a mountain of drivel. if you're going to be a writer you'll probably take a lot of wrong turns and then one day just end up writing something you have to write, then getting it better and better just because you want it to be better, and even when you get old and think, "there must be something else people do," you won't be able to quit.
Writing Thinking People
As every writer knows... there is something mysterious about the writer's ability, on any given day, to write. when the juices are flowing, or the writer is 'hot', an invisible wall seems to fall away, and the writer moves easily and surely from one kind of reality to another... every writer has experienced at least moments of this strange, magical state. reading student fiction one can spot at once where the power turns on and where it turns off, where the writer writes from 'inspiration' or deep, flowing vision, and where he had to struggle along on mere intellect.

Prayer is the window that god has placed in the walls of our world. leave it shut and the world is a cold, dark house. but throw back the curtains and see his light. open the window and hear his voice. open the window of prayer and invoke the presence of god in your world.
