Susan Gabriel posted an interesting blog item about writing advice from a reader. Personally, I love getting feedback from readers. It is a fantastic learning tool. Since I write to the audience, I think these tips are a great idea.
Go to Susan's blog and follow the links, I like the one from the Guardian.
Then write in the comment section YOUR advice for writers.

One thing I have learned is to write every day. Even if it is just a few lines. My advice would be to read the advice out there for you. I have no regrets spending a few hours a week, blog & website reading. The advice from agents, writers, publishers and editors is valuable.
