Goodreads asked Vicki Blair:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Vicki Blair If you have a story in your heart then tell it. Don't stop until your through with your story even if it takes you a couple of years. Surround yourself with people who will encourage you. Don't try to edit as you go. Put the story on paper then you can go back and clean it up. Pay attention to word guidelines of publishers. Listen to feedback of beta readers but remember that in the end it's your book and your decision. Learn to be a concise writer. More is not always better.
