Kelly Powell's Tip

I think it’s important to write from the heart and to write what you’re interested in—to write the book you want to read. I love the research aspect of writing and delving into details. I find it helps so much in shaping my settings and characters. Revision brings the story closer to the one I want to tell, and I really enjoy focusing on details of the world and the characters. My advice would be to believe in your work, write the ideas you love, and also be open to critique. Writing is often very solitary and I think it aids the process to write wholeheartedly.
