Goodreads asked A. Marie:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

A. Marie First, write. Sit down and write. Do not think about how others do it, or what others might think. Just write. Your own voice and style will come out eventually even if it doesn't at first and that's okay. We need alllll the different voices and styles. That's the beauty of books.
Second, adapt. My biggest piece of advice is be ready to adapt. Change a scene if needed. Change a title, a character, a plot point. Change, change, change. And don't be afraid of it, even if it hurts.
