Zine: Shoveling sand – My favorite writing advice

/ Writing, Zines / my zines

“Shoveling sand” is a 20-page zine that collects my favorite writing advice from several writers. I grouped quotes by themes including “keep a notebook,” “don’t worry about being popular,” and “get the first draft down.”
