Piece of advice

What's a memorable piece of advice you've received that has stuck with you?

 

[SailusGebel]

Don't stick your dick in crazy.

A bad day of writing does not make you a bad writer.
Nor does an odd piece of dialogue, or an illogical plot line.
Cut yourself some slack. Writing gets tedious sometimes.

Technically, I'm pretty sure this was advice for everyone, not me specifically-- but I'm included within everyone, and so are you.

I learned about this from my human development course in university, about a decade before giving birth:

How Cosleeping Can Help You and Your Baby

The decision whether to cosleep with your baby is extremely controversial—and there are two sides to the story.

This communicates a lotta feelings I had on the subject very clearly. If you as a beginner compare your work to professionals you can only despair.

 

[Rhaps]

Very little is needed to make a happy life; it is all within yourself in your way of thinking.

 

[RepresentingEnvy]

I remember a lot of what people say to me.

"Don't take the forums too seriously."
"How can you expect me to believe in your writing advice if you don't believe in your writing."
"Give @K5Rakitan 1 star ratings for getting on trending."
"You're a whore."
I am paraphrasing of course.

Dude...

I know you mean well, but threads like these are just asking for trouble. The only advice I ever got was nightmarish. Here's one.

"Just die."

Right after seven guys jumped me, but before Brian brought the baseball bat down on me, driving into a coma and damaging my brain so I can't remember names and faces. Speaking of faces, the beating dislodged my face so it had to be sewn back onto my skull. Never quite lined up right after that. Needless to say, it's been over 30 years and I ignored their advice.

But it did stick with me.

So here's a question back at ya.

What are you looking for?

not everything you do has to be about money (monetized)

Mine was an encounter in the most confusing dream I ever had and it has stuck with me for years.

It was me trying to make small talk with a princess on a balcony and she didn't even greet me before simply saying 'You talk too much.'.
Then the dream turned into something akin to a nightmare and ended pretty abruptly.

Remember your death.

 

[Nekroz]

"The word of God means nothing if you don't believe in it."
"Believe to see."
"God isn't gonna break the rules of reality he set up just so you can be lazy."

These aren't exact quotes, but I've discovered them to be true.

It's not a narcissistic streak a mile wide to admire your appearance. Nothing wrong with just enjoying you.

A truck only goes so far on half a tank, that credit card ain't money in the bank, if it don't sound like a good idea, it probably ain't

 

[Fox-Trot-9]

When everyone says, "Fuck you," to your face, be kind to yourself and tell those fuckers to fuck off.

"Use active voice in storytelling. Unless you're J.K. Rowling. Reason is, she IS J.K.Rowling."

This piece of advice stuck on me for all the wrong reasons, making me realize that writing 'rules' are just guides and not the absolute.

Since then, I was able to pump up 17 volumes for my story, and counting....
