Goodreads asked Lola R. Opeyemi:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Lola R. Opeyemi Writing is one of the few professions where we wait for people to approve of us before we think we are writers.
My thought is that only you really know if you are a writer deep down. Don't wait until someone tells you that you are. Just. Start. Writing.
