I run a writing community. I don't find it easy to write publicly. This advice from Olivia Petter in my interview with her, really hit home.

[The London Writers' Salon @WritersSalon]

"My advice is to not write it unless you're willing to be completely honest and vulnerable...You have to be willing to take all the walls down. You have to write it as though no one is going to read it".

Love this advice from journalist and author Olivia Petter.
