Goodreads asked Helen Garraway:

What’s your advice for aspiring writers?

Helen Garraway Don't give up! They say there is a book in everyone.
Write for the sheer joy of writing, don't pressurise yourself to meet someone's else's idea of being a writer. If you intend to publish then make sure you learn the grammar rules, how to structure a novel and how to edit. There is plenty of information out there available for free, so do your research. And if you are self publishing know that everything takes twice as long as you think it will so give yourself plenty of time!
