This writing tip comes from free-spirited author Layla Messner. “I don't know if this is a tip exactly, because no one ever said it to me. But this is what I tell myself when I sit down to write: Be honest - put your trust in the story, and don't hold back.“
Similar advice was offered by Grievous Jones: “Be honest…Be you.”

I believe writers inadvertently find themselves writing for the market when they (and their readers) would be better served if they'd simply apply what drove them to pick up the pen/laptop: their passion for storytelling. Just being themselves.
