--What writing advice do you have for your younger self?
Heh, honestly, I would tell myself I don't have to have sex scenes in my story unless I really want to write them! Sometimes I would feel like they didn't fit the story, or I wouldn't feel like writing one, but I felt like they had to be there. To be fair, I did get some negative reactions when I wrote stories that didn't end in sex scenes, so I guess I understand why I felt the pressure! But life is too short to force yourself to write something that doesn't feel right.
What advice would you give yourself looking back at your young innocent past?
