Goodreads asked Catherine DePasquale:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Catherine DePasquale Write your first draft as if no one will ever read it. Then truth will flow out onto the pages. You can always go back and change things during the revisions. And believe in your own story. You will get bad reviews, so you have to believe in your own story or you will become discouraged. Not every story is for everyone.
