Hey, so I heard you want some advice, so let me go ahead and give you some!
Okay, so first off, networking is super important. How are people supposed to find you if you don't put your name out there? Join clubs, talk to people and be an active member of the community! However, when doing this, you must always remember that what goes around comes around, so help others! Always thank people for fanning you, don't be afraid to fan others, critique other's stories, etc. If you have any questions, I'll always be here! <3
