JUNE QUESTION: What is one valuable lesson you've learned since you started writing?
MY ANSWER - learn all you can, keep writing, but always write for yourself first, and never throw ANYTHING you write away. Rules, market fluctuations, fan opinions, submission calls, and people in charge are constantly changing. If you write for yourself first, and don't give up, you will always be satisfied. Also, don't let rejections get to you. Sometimes it can take years to get a piece published - my record is 20 years later :-)
What valuable lessons have you learned?

That is some record, damn. Yep, write for yourself is sure a good way to be.
That's quite the record. But it did have an end because you didn't give up.
I loved all of your lessons and advice. :)
