Goodreads asked Casia Pickering:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Casia Pickering Be Annoyingly Determined. I can proudly say that this is one of my favorite traits. Think about those annoying anime characters that everyone loves to hate or really love: Goku from DBZ or Naruto from Naruto. They both have this inane ability to keep going despite the outside pressures. When someone tells them they can't, they get angry and do it anyways. Be that person. Ignore the outside and inner haters and just go for it. Be Annoyingly Determined.

But also read and write. You can't really be a writer without those two things too.
