Sumario:The author advises aspiring writers to start a writer gang. She narrates attending a writing class when she was 18 and started a writer gang with her classmates who eventually became her closest friends. She notes the need for writers to be humble, to take criticism, and to be patient as rejection letters pile up. She also cites her teacher's advice to be arrogant in order to try grand experiments, pursue impossible things, and believe in one's work before it receives validation from others.
