Goodreads asked Debbie Babitt:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Debbie Babitt Keep writing. Never, ever stop! And you must always believe in yourself. Truisms that never stop, well, being true! Talent and ambition go hand in hand; talent often breeds ambition. Don't let self-doubt become an obstacle. Time has no meaning. Don't tell yourself, "it's been so long. If I had what it takes, I'd be published by now." Wrong! Success comes when you least expect it...and carries a host of other things to think about and obsess over, believe me. I can't reiterate enough: DON'T. STOP.WRITING.
