Goodreads asked Denise Cook Robinson:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Denise Cook Robinson Keep writing, no matter how much negative input you might get. People close to you might think that you're nuts trying to write a book, and writing can be a tough business to break into, but if you love your characters and have the drive, it is very rewarding. Also, write what you love. If you're into mysteries, write mysteries. Are you a romance fiend? Then, write romances. Don't force it because you think something might be profitable.
