My First List

• Find ways to make your writing available to others: Start a blog, join the staff of your college newspaper or magazine, or post fan lit. Read the comments but don’t take them personally. Some will be helpful and some will just be negative people who do not have as much talent as you do.
• Set aside writing samples of which you are particularly proud. You will need to provide samples when you start looking for internships or a job, and sorting through everything you have written at that point could be overwhelming. Building your portfolio as you go ensures that you are presenting work that represents you well.
