I learn by doing. A writing buddy and I
decided to try a new genre.
I read three stories in that genre
and then wrote my first story.
While that first story was being rejected,
I was writing my second story. My buddy read over 20 stories
in the genre.
She took classes. I now have 3 stories published
in that genre.
She is currently writing her first one. If it doesn’t cost much to try,
I try.
I make my mistakes.
I learn from them.
I eventually succeed.
