Goodreads asked Ruth Badley:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Ruth Badley Write. And also read a lot in your genre. Then forget everything you read and write. Read what you wrote yesterday and rewrite. Then write some more. Repeat until first draft is completed. Join a writer's group for considered and invaluable feedback on your early work.
