Do you have one sentence of advice for new writers?

Believe that you can write. Put down on paper the very first words that come to your mind – even if it is only a heading or a title that you would like to write about. Just get started, and words will follow. Always consult a good dictionary for meanings, spellings, correct usage of words and grammar. A Thesaurus too would help.
