HI Danielle, Some cheap advice, and worth every penny you paid for it. Read heavily in the cateogry you want to write. If you want to be a poet, read poetry an hour a day forever. If you want to write self help articles, then read all the good, and bad, until you can feel and understand the rhythm of good work. It takes a few years for most new writers to find their voice, be patient, write at least 30 minutes a day, and study the craft. Good luck and welcome to Medium… and thank you for the read and your time with my article.
