Goodreads asked Maura Rose:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Maura Rose Never give up! I know that's what everyone says, but there's a darned good reason everyone says it. If you threw up your hands and quit after reaching your first (or second or tenth or hundredth) stumbling block, you'd never get anywhere. The only way to get somewhere is to KEEP GOING. So keep going! Make mistakes, cry, yell, pound the desk--and then learn and move forward and keep writing down those words.
