Horacio Quiroga's famous advice for short stories: When you write, don't think in your friends, or in the impression the story will make on them. Narrate as if your story were only of interest for the small environment of your characters, one of whom could be yourself.

General advice for those who are "creative artists" in any field or medium: realize God in you is the Creator and the Source, and your patterning of such infinite creativity is the truth.

Not a writer but I am I songwriter and music producer. 1. K.I.S.S. (Keep It Simple Stupid), meaning don't overthink every detail...simplicity works. 2. You will create more bad content than you will good. 3. Let everybody read it and give input, they are your customers after all (hopefully). 4. Stay motivated, it is easy to get discouraged so do all the little things that keep you focused.

Yes, don't show what you write to ANYONE until you're certain it's as good as it can possibly be, and this includes spelling, punctuation and grammar.
