Over the years, I've learned there are hundreds of tips and ideas that can help you write good fiction and nonfiction. I've also learned that those tips change like the ebb and flow of the ocean. What rings true today changes a year later.
It can be frustrating, learning one thing and then having it switch the next time you go to a conference, but there are pros and cons to the changes. The pros are we need to continually tuck away new thought processes, style changes, and hints for our writing. A writer's toolbox should overflow with tons of new suggestions and tips. However, the con to these changes is—well—changes. Who really likes changes? Learning the popular desire of publishers today only to have it detour tomorrow grows frustrating. Stick with it.
