DL: Can you tell me Self-Editing milestones to implement rewards and increase motivation?
Trust Future you.
Julz: How do you treat religion? Do you go monotheistic or multiple?
Doesn’t touch religion in the woken kingdom series but recommends you do solid research and approach it respectfully.
Izzy: How do you find something unique when everything has already been done before? How do you draw inspirations instead of copying an idea because there is a fine line between drawing inspirations and copying.
It is hard! Develop your voice and confidence. Focus on your craft, Practice. Love your thing and the doubt will not be there because it will be uniquely you.
