Goodreads asked Heidi Baker:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Heidi Baker Begin with practice. Natalie Goldberg's Writing Down the Bones is an excellent place to start. Find others who wish to write with you sometimes, to follow writing prompts wherever they lead, and only offer each other positive feedback (and only sincere). Practice for a while (weeks, months, years?), until something else begins to happen between you and the page. Only then add intentional writing. But always continue to practice.
