10. Never stop reading! It’s always going to be your favorite activity.
9. Keep your sense of humor. It will stand you in good stead!
8. When you have an opportunity to travel, take it. Learn from your experiences and talk to people who live in the place you’re visiting.
7. Get some exercise every day. You’ll be glad when you’re older! Long walks are always good.
6. Don’t let difficult people or situations stop you from doing what you want to do.
5. More interesting eating options are on the horizon! Just wait!
4. Try to overcome at least some of your shyness. People might actually want to talk to you more than you think they will.
3. Keep on observing. It’s okay to be more of an observer than a participant if that’s more comfortable for you, and it will help you with your reporting one day.
2. Keep writing. Don’t take years-long breaks from your fiction-writing.
1. Appreciate your family and friends.
