Take a class or workshop in something you've never tried.

“The first class was intimidating. A community of writers that have been writing far longer than I have, and have experienced life more broadly, surrounded me. As a 21-year old student, it felt like I wasn’t supposed to be there. I knew I had a lot to gain from these writers, so I smothered the intimidation and took the class head-on. Everyone in the class had the same problem I did. Many were looking to find ways to stay dedicated to their work.”

“Apart from this, we also workshopped our writing. I found this portion of the class incredibly helpful. I specialize in writing YA fantasy/fiction. In a room of writers that don’t generally look at that genre, I was hesitant to share my work. However, the insight I received from everyone was invaluable. Steven was able to provide feedback that helped bring a sophistication to my genre, that I’ve been working to incorporate.”
