"Tell the stories that come from your heart and do not get caught up with trying to chase trends. By the time you are committed to pursuing a current trend, a new one is on the way to replace it, and you end up stifling your voice and style in the process. Along the same lines, do not be consumed with writing characters that you think others are expecting, but rather the ones that organically come from your imagination. The most important thing of all is to develop your own voice and style. Writing the stories that you are passionate about will always result in your best and most appealing work.”
